MY DRESS IS MY CHOICE is a forum theatre piece created for the inhabitants of the Mathare, Huruma and Kariobangi Slums in Nairobi. It responds to the recent surge in public violence based on their choice of clothing –women getting punished for their inappropriate attire (Mini skirts).
Forum theatre is based on the idea that a society can only solve its problems from within. The solutions the people themselves suggest are those they can implement.
MY DRESS IS MY CHOICE will be created for the inhabitants of the Mathare, Huruma and Kariobangi Slums in Nairobi and be performed in the respective areas’ council buildings. – Forum theatre aims to encourage dialogue, foster freedom of speech and to create a space where societal issues can jointly be examined.
Currently, the founders of the project are raising funds to make this forum theatre piece a reality. You can contribute to support, here.
