 I will perform in San Francisco for Yoni Ki Baat 2012! It will be the first time in a long time that I'm back onstage, so I'm really excited. My performance piece is called Ugly Beautiful/Brown White/Sweet Submissive/Orientalized Objectified, and it explores my childhood desire to be white, the stereotypical role Indian women are expected to play in society, and defying norms of being an Indian woman. I will perform in American Sign Language. Micropixie will “voice” my piece since I cannot speak well. I will also show a brand new video, so my performance is a mixture of ASL and multimedia!
Proceeds from the show will go to Narika, which helps South Asian victims of domestic abuse. WHEN: March 31st, 2012 (7PM) April 1st, 2012 (5PM) WHERE: Women's Building 3543 18th St # 8 San Francisco, CA 94110 WHY: This is a festival for South Asian women (artists, musicians, writers, dancers, filmmakers, and ordinary women like you) to perform and speak out about issues that affect Desi/South Asian women. This is loosely inspired by the Vagina Monologues, and this is part of V-Day, a global art movement to speak out against violence committed against women and girls. Proceeds will help South Asian victims of domestic violence. HOW: You can purchase tickets here. Hope to see you there! Comments are closed.
