Guns and Tampons: A History of Violence Against Women I Know
Friday, February 9, 8:30 p.m.
$10 admission, $5 for members
Asian Arts Initiative, 1315 Cherry St, 2nd Fl, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Guns and Tampons: A History of Violence Against Women I Know is the debut of new work by spoken word artist and writer, Hanalei Ramos. In her first multi-media solo show, Hanalei has created one act plays based on the experiences of three women who are victims and survivors of domestic violence. By staging portraits of some of the most intimate moments in a woman's life, Guns and Tampons challenges our working definition of womanhood and examines how it is warped by cultural expectations, societal conditioning, and subtle forms of violence. Ultimately, the patchwork testimony of several individuals becomes the story of all women, and a compelling glimpse into a world of survival and strength. | | |
| i will be doing a combination of running and walking next saturday for Revlon's Run/Walk for Women's Cancers from Times Square to Central Park!
$5 ---- less than the amount of a drink, a pack of cigaretttttes, or 2 lattes will really help this cause. If you can't participate in the walk yourself, get your good samaritan on vicariously through me.
Please please please please please securely donate by FRIDAY (5/5/2006) at this link:

------------------------
what someone said for free and without my influence:
"Hanalei Ramos' Letters to Martha is authored in meticulously crafted
layers of side splitting irreverence, poignant irony and uncompromised
honesty. She speaks with a voice that acknowledges the deepest pain
but refuses defeat and through a narrative that seeks clarity (if
desperately) out of confusion rather than some easier escape."
