AWID Womens Rights Organization Feminist Realities Toolkit Creative Report Out in
Collaboration with Kirthi Jayakumar and Nayani Thiyagarajah
As quoted from Instagram:
"We are so moved by this wonderful co-creation of three artivists and AWID members (Nokwanda - @nylamexico, from South Africa, Kirthi -@kirthipotamus from India and Nayani - @_9knee from Canada). On the left of the postcard (first picture) is Nokwanda's powerful artwork, on the right (second picture) is Kirthi's powerful artwork, and between the two is a poem Nayani wrote.
Thank you all 3, and all of our members to co-create such a vibrant community of feminists.
They created this piece as a 'report-out' of an activity we did specifically for our members in September, around our Feminist Realities Toolkit. (Stay tuned for a similar interactive conversation for everyone...)

"Recently participated in a workshop hosted by AWID (Association for Womens Rights Development) a global feminist organization, by which I had the privilege of connecting with so many incredible and amazing women from different cultures and time zones. Across continents we shared our stories of Feminist Realities and what that meant to all of us. Learning how we all have similar experiences of trauma, how solidarity, vulnerability and holding space for each other can create a global connection, one which we are all a part of 💛
