JUICE, Seattle's only Modern Global Dance Night in support of Tasveer
March 1st, Saturday • $8; $5 before 10 pm
Nectar Lounge 412 N 36th St
Support Aaina by coming out to Dance!
JUICE is a monthly dance party that focuses on Global Dance
music. Each month, KEXP's DJ Darek Mazzone with his
collaborators Eric Schmidt (DJ Rhythma) and Rebecca Campeau,
along with special guests create a vibe that blends Latin,
South Asian, Brazilian, African, and other global flavors into
a funky night that is unique in Seattle. The proceeds from each
night goes to a different charity that does international work
for peace, social services, environmental protection,
education, health, and justice.
For March, JUICE proceeds will be donated to Tasveer. Come and
hang out with the Aaina and Yoni ki Baat organizers and
participants! Plus we will have raffles and surprises.

Suggested donation $10.00

Seattle Yoni,
Let us introduce ourselves - we are the Yoni Ki Baat team
brought to you by Tasveer. Do you remember us from last year?
How could you forget? Well your Yoni sure does remember - we
had a sold out performance to last year's first-ever
Seattle-based South Asian adaptation of the Vagina Monologues.
AND after popular demand we are back! This year's production
has been made possible by Yoni like you, Tasveer, and Chaya.
See you soon!

For the third consecutive year, Tasveer is once again proud to
host Aaina, a South Asian women’s focus that brings to you film
screenings, live performances, art exhibitions, discussion
forums, and more. The following is a very brief outline of our
very exciting range of programs and watch this space for
further details:
- An Artist Focus where we celebrate a range of South
Asian women’s art and creativity
- Films that explore and investigate the lives of a
diversity of women with roots in South Asia
- Critical Panel discussion where academics and
specialists from Canada, Massachusetts, and Seattle convene
to discuss the present-day state of affairs in South Asia
around the theme of ‘Women, Governance, religion and
Fundamentalism’
- Survivor Stories: This is a space for expression -
through words, art, and photos - for survivors, victims,
and other families and friends who have been affected by
domestic violence.
We would like to thank Chaya for being the fiscal sponsors for
Aaina 2008. We truly appreciate their support and help with
organizing the program on domestic violence survivor stories
and for advertising, promoting and recruiting performers for
Yoni Ki Baat.
