This short (4'30'') poetic performance by Indian actress and activist Kalki Koechlin is breathtaking.

It's called "Dear Men"

When I found the performance's ⬆️ video, I already knew Ms. Koechlin, as some time before I had stumbled upon

"Rape - It's your fault".

It's tough stuff. Only watch (3'35'') if you're able to stand hefty sarcasm.

AIB : Rape - It's Your Fault

3/3

Let's finalise this thread by perhaps one of the most impressive poetry performances I have ever seen.

"The Printing Machine" deals with a variety of topics, but predominantly with the commodification of sexual violence by a ruthless media industry feeding the public's morbid fascination with this topic.

Written and performed by Kalki Koechlin

Even if it weren't for the message, her voice alone is enough reason to watch it.

@mina

I think it's perfect
Thank you, Mina

I'm just trying to find the text...
I don't understand everything...you know my English...I'm already struggling to read english...

In any case, really impressive
Everything the video, the text, Kary is impressive just stunning

You somehow show me which project I should tackle next...
Thanks to @HistoPol
I had already started something...
Heading..."The Indictment paper" because it's so huge so far
Somehow my things are getting longer and longer

@si_irini

I have now a subtitled version online.

However: There are some references to Indian news and culture, we might not entirely understand.

I don't think, it takes anything of the message away.

On the contrary: It shows, how universal the vicious news cycle, we are all part of, really is.

Sometimes, I miss the voices from India, Vietnam, Nigeria and other places, I used to have regularly in my Twitter bubble.

The Fediverse is still ethnically and socially a not very diverse place.

@HistoPol

@Mina it doesn't spread itsself. the media hate the fediverse (choice is too complicated even for tech journalists). so you have to spread the idea ... :-)
