World Storytelling Day 2016

AMBA:  Strong Women Stories (SOLD OUT)

Storyteller Kamini Ramachandran breathes life into lesser known traditional oral tales that explore the feminine. These are not damsels in distress or princesses waiting to be awoken from some sort of slumber. These are men and women who slip in and out of gender identity, with strength. These ancient stories empower us, both male and female, to look into the mirror and not turn away.

This storytelling performance also features young storytellers from Kamini’s mentorship programme.

About Kamini Ramachandran
