About the Event
We Are Present: Women's Histories of Conflict, Courage, and Survival is a collection of women’s oral histories of conflict-experiences and its impact in Sri Lanka. The narratives, self-written through visual story-telling methodologies, are interspersed with essays by Sri Lankan women authors and activists. The book shines a light on the historical threads that tie women’s experiences of war to the contemporary challenges women face in post-war Sri Lanka – experiences and challenges that will resonate with many communities throughout the world. In doing so,“We Are Present" serves as a tool for public discourse on why women’s histories matter and why they must occupy a nexus between history, memorialization, and justice, particularly for those transitioning from a context of war to peace.
