SUMMARY:Are You Listening? A one-woman show by Zaynab Mohammed
DESCRIPTION:“Zaynab opens her heart and soul to you\,” observed Meg Stewart\, who was in the audience for the first performance of Zaynab Mohammed’s one-woman show Are You Listening? in the Cold War Bunker. “Her vulnerability allows you to reach into your own.”  \nThe Nelson Museum\, Archives & Gallery and the Nelson & District Arts Council are presenting two additional performances of Are You Listening?\, on November 2 at 7 pm and November 3 at 4 pm.  \nAre You Listening? is the story of a woman reflecting on what she has learned by leaning on the art of listening to herself\, to others\, and to the earth. It is the story of a young woman who loses her innocence at a young age due to cultural inequity\, and how she finds freedom from centuries of colonization and displacement\,
