The Prajnya Archives

invite you to

a visual celebration of the ideas, creativity and voices of women

WOMEN OF WORDS

August 1-October 15, 2019

Are there women in your family or your circle of friends to whom writing comes naturally and who express themselves most freely through the written word? 

Send us photos with stories about them, whether they write stories, essays, poems, articles, blogposts or letters. In a world which renders them invisible, join us to visually document and celebrate the ideas, creativity and voices of women. 

Email your photos-with-narratives to [email protected] by October 15 2019 for inclusion in this special collection.
