Taboos: Desire And Disgust

This podcast offers an intimate look at youth and womanhood with writers from Colombia, Singapore and Pakistan.

TABOOS: DESIRE AND DISGUST took place at Free Word on 30 October 2018, as part of our This Is Private Season.

This podcast is a full recording of the event, which offers an intimate look at youth and womanhood with writers from around the world whose work examines coming of age as a young woman. How do they capture desire, sex, friendship and alienation? How does adolescence differ from place to place?

The panel discussion features award-winning authors Margarita Garcia Robayo, Sharlene Teo and Sarvat Hasin, and is chaired by writer, activist and educator Zahra Dalilah.
