Event Description

Born from a need to demonstrate the role of society as a prominent factor in shaping our interactions and experiences, ‘Am I two?’ brings certain deep seated conflicts and tensions to the surface from women belonging to two different realities. Reflecting and addressing the various burdens and privileges shared by women as a collective whole, this piece takes a journey of revolution through questioning and challenging the current hierarchies and structures that facilitate a constant struggle- fighting for our equal space as women in the professional and personal sphere.
