Lili Bita

Art and Change Grant

2007/ $2500

Neighborhood: Bala Cynwyd

Change Partner: The Rotunda

Discipline: Performance

Lili will create a one-woman show adapted from her autobiographical dramatic memoir, Sister of Darkness (Somserset Hall Press, 2005), which describes her experience of gender-based oppression and domestic violence as a child, young adult professional, immigrant, and spouse. She hopes the project, to be performed at the 2007 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, will empower women and sensitize men to the social constraints attributed to sexism, racism, and ageism.
