Followed by a Q&A. womb - A teenage girl is on the quest to find herself through male attention. She navigates her journey to womanhood by becoming a woman as quickly as she can. Or at least she tries to. womb follows the ramblings, thoughts and decisions of a young black girl who is coming to terms with her sexual desires. But 'he' doesn't want her to become too self-assured and tries to mould her into his idea of a woman. Will she be able to maintain her true sense of self? Or will she become consumed by him? RIPE - Ripe, by Sasha Chernaya, tackles female sexuality. How do women discover their bodies? What power does sexuality give women? Against a society of catcalls and slut shaming, what does it mean to be a woman? Sasha will tell stories, physically and vocally, of sexual experiences of herself and of others, trying to tie together what it means to be a sexually active woman. She will cover sexual power, love and friendship.
