When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.” Jiddu Krishnamurti submitted by Rosina Kazi

A reflection, while sitting in quiet-tude:
"I gaze towards ancestors & feel an inwards pull towards wise whispers of belonging. Truth & comfort lives here. No story needs to be held alone." sairupa durga #izzatproject

Check out the postcard image celebrating our upcoming graphic novella "Heartbeats: The IZZAT Project".
South Asian young women’s bodies and hearts are often the battleground of patriarchs, media and governments. Tired of our voices being left out of the dialogue about violence in our lives, eight South Asian young women came together to speak out in the IZZAT Project. This Toronto based expressive arts project combines illustration, writing and theatre to amplify our stories of resilience in the face of violence. We together for six months, sharing stories, healing and creating art. Collectively we wrote six stories which have been illustrated by artist Somya Singh into a graphic novella. Our book entitled Heartbeats will be launched October 2012 available through http://pomegranatetreegroup.tumblr.com/ .
