UWC’s Gender Equity Unit presents Mind your Language Dialogue

We were also joined by Angelo Fortuin - Project Officer at UWC’s Gender Equity Unit,

Mandy Sanger - of the District Six Homecoming Centre and Bianca van Rooi - Words 4 Women cast member. We were talking about the Mind your Language Dialogue that’s taking place tomorrow at the District Six Museum Homecoming Centre. UWC’s Gender Equity Unit is celebrating its 20^th anniversary and in partnership with the District Six Museum Homecoming Centre they are inviting the public to their open discussion entitled “Mind Your Language” featuring a theatre production “Words 4 Women” tomorrow August 15^th, 2013 at the Centre from 6:30PM. The production plays with a variety of stereotypes and the effect is a celebration of women and their bodies as the young student cast uses words and actions to bring powerful and celebratory meaning to words that are often used to demean and oppress women. Therefore they call on new interpretations of the words in the different languages through their performance.
