Sari Art & Climate Resilience: Film by Monica Bose & Nandita Ahmed

JOIN THE CROWD IN SUPPORTING A FILM ABOUT CLIMATE RESILIENCE among Women in Katakhali, Bangladesh:

A Kickstarter Project by the U.S. based Blangladeshi women artist and film maker, Monica Bose and Nandita Ahmed.

Monica Bose, based in Washington DC, is a visual and performance artist with family roots in Katakhali.

You can see Monica perform in Mt. Ranier, Maryland.

Here is the direct message from Monica and Nadita:

A three-page article called “Storytelling with Saris” has just come out in Annanya, a leading women’s magazine in Bangladesh.

The article is in Bengali and starts with the following quote:  “The village is changing from the inside.  The women of the village are now enlightened, self-confident, and empowered.  There is much that we can learn from them.”  I actually heard about the article when I called one of the women in Katakhali the other day.  She told me that they had read the article and were very excited.  I am pleased that the article is in Bengali so that the women of Katakhali can read it and be proud of their achievements!  (It is essentially an expanded Bengali version of a writeup that appeared earlier in the Independent in English.)
