The video is a sneak peak of elements of the poetry performance, which will include some of these words, and images backing the performance.
To create this first poem, I reflected on the stories of the women, as well as concepts of sacrifice, transformation and spiritual purpose, and metaphors that speak to the creation of change. That’s all I want to say for now.
This collaborative global project is dedicated to all the women of Iran, of all faiths, and to the realisation of their dream for Equality.
All are welcome to contribute. For more information visit this SITE
