Jana du Plessis & Dayna Petersen
Women Who Cry Out: ’n Gesprek tussen Twee Verkose Vrouens
In 2015, Jana du Plessis published an essay entitled Women. Bodies Self. in the literary journal Entropy Magazine. The essay sparked conversations between women, particularly between the author and her young woman writer friend, newcomer Dayna Petersen. We will explore women and their bodies through writing, and their expression through tears, blood and voice. Together we will give women a platform to express themselves without judgement, and to cry out to be heard. Jana du Plessis en Dayna Petersen is dieselfde vrou: ’n vrou wat skree, haat, liefhet, diep omgee, vrae vra en glo dat daar duisende ander vrouens soos hulle is.
Waar is hierdie feisty vrouens?
