Thanking Umang, Smriti ,Yashas and Umesh for documenting.
NOTE FROM Namita :
ReplyDeleteBlank Noise/One Night Stand participant.
Am in a hurry but was thinking that for next time, apart from obviously
avoiding the pinks and oranges for clothing, we should be a little more
diverse in our clothing, otherwise we look like a bunch of straightforward
gals who are middle class and well-educated aping male attire in jeans
mostly. Or pants.
Maybe a sari or two or even skirts would break that impression-
to Namita from me:
ReplyDeletedont completely agree with trying diverse 'clothing' but think it
would be interesting to bring in 'dvierse people'/ sweeper woman/ bus
conductor/ auntyji/ me/ you/
even there on the street at the crossing...the men were a token
presence--more so our desperate state for participants brought them
in..then again...there was this constant battle of my conscience ( only men who have experienced it should be there on the street/ women who belive in it and support it should be there---fighters/victims) and the mesage itself..the fact that there were men and women- men in minority...that
it happened..
