Have you ever felt lost for words? Now imagine not having the vocabulary to describe an event in your life, and feeling imprisoned by it for years.
From mythological tales to cultural rituals to modern real life stories, this talk explores the power of storytelling and its role in healing. With an emphasis on South Asian cultural expectations, her own story of sexual abuse, and the need to create a space for talking about taboo issues, Indapure illustrates how the act of storytelling is therapeutic to the storyteller and beneficial to the listener. The presentation shows how talking about something that is hidden for so long releases the darkness and leads to creative channels and altruism. The ultimate goal of the talk is to show that by sharing our deeply personal stories, we are able to cross cultural barriers and heal together as a society. In partnership with Humanities Washington.
