Yoni Ki Baat is back for another year and tickets are selling out FAST! Reserve yours right away at BrownPaperTickets and experience the beauty and wisdom of our performers.

Yoni Ki Baat is a collection of authentic, bold, vivid, tender, powerful and poignant stories told by South Asian women. Translated as “Talk of the Vagina,” Yoni Ki Baat was inspired by Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues. Seattle’s Yoni Ki Baat has now taken a creative life of its own, propelled by the courageous voices of local South Asian women, and creating a unique space of sharing and community through sourcing and presenting true stories. Our narratives shed light on the special challenges experienced in the South Asian socio-cultural context, whether homegrown or related to the diaspora, while also expressing opportunities, dreams and aspirations for change. Acknowledging female sexuality as an essential aspect of identity and expression, this transformative space encourages South Asian women to speak out on behalf of their bodies in an effort to obliterate violence, stigma and dogma. This year’s Yoni Ki Baat is directed by Sabina Ansari, a Seattle-based filmmaker and activist.
