ABOUT

In commemoration of International Women’s Day, National Women’s Month, and the United Nations’ Declaration for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, In the Name of Forgotten Women draws on real-life events in more than fifteen countries and tackles atrocities leveled at women over the past four centuries. Through music and song and dance and projection and movement and poetry these women conjure the past and challenge us to create a better future where the power of the feminine is restored.
