Far, Far Better Things, T1 Ep. 2 TheatreFIRST

- Society & Culture
“If women aren’t safe in their country, their family can protect them. And if they aren’t safe in their family their country can protect them. But what happens to women when they aren’t safe in their country or in their family?”
- Lali Putri in Far, Far Better Things
Director Katja Rivera and actor Kimiya Shokri join host Cat Petru and guest cultural workers Eri Guajardo Johnson and Nadya Tannous to delve into this critical question and more on this episode of the T1 podcast inspired by Geetha Reddy's original work Far, Far Better Things.
We name and explore the relationship between intimate and state violence against women - and discuss how we can show up for one another. Eri (creator of the Birth Bruja podcast) lends insight as a birthworker with over a decade of work at San Francisco Women Against Rape providing rape crisis support. Nadya, general coordinator of the Palestinian Youth Movement in the U.S., shares boldly and openly about both the violence endured and survival strategies enacted by Palestinian women and youth in their homeland and in diaspora.
Many threads are woven together on this episode; our resilience and our pain. A reminder to take exquisite care of yourself as you listen.
