Event Details : Zubaan Talkies, Take #6: The Erotica Salon.
For centuries, myths have defined and restricted our conceptions of femininity and even feminism. Virgin Mother. Whore. Sita. Medusa. Draupadi. Radha. Echo. Hera. Aphrodite. Artemis. Penelope.
Somewhere in the course of history, through oral and written literature, womankind got entangled in these myths. Women writers have intervened at various moments to free some of these characters from the shackles of the myths that surrounded them and tied them down. And of course there are the myths that surround the feminist movement which continue to persist even among the literate.
We invite writers to perform an original piece of work around the theme of myth breaking, this could involve a brief re-telling of a myth, like Jeanette Winterson’s Weight or a poem that reinvents a myth or any piece of original writing that examines myth from a feminist perspective. Performers will get five minutes to perform their piece.
The Open Mike evening will be interspersed with readings from selected excerpts of “Breaking the Bow”, Zubaan’s anthology of speculative fiction edited by Vandani Singh and Anil Menon that’s fresh off the press.
