A lecture on women, poetry, and protest, hosted by Beit HaShachmat. A journey from the ancient world to the present day about the power of words to create social change.
Since time immemorial, poetry has been a powerful tool for emotional, political, and social expression, serving as a platform for protest, hope, resistance, and dreams of a better reality.
In this fascinating lecture, we will embark on a journey through time, from the ancient world to the present day, and examine how women, poets, and creators have used words to influence society, challenge conventions, and create change. We will explore the history of protest and poetry’s ability to touch the heart, provoke thought, and move people to action. Through inspiring stories, texts, and examples, we will discover how language can become a driving force for personal and social change.
The lecture combines history, feminism, literature, language, and emotion, inviting participants to take a fresh look at the power of words to shape consciousness, build communities, and influence the reality in which we live.
