Interview – Suchitra Dalvie

Getting to know who I really am has been a game changer. Prejudice, anger, control and violence all emerge from fear.

Interview – Suchitra Dalvie

Listening in today…

In this great repository of the human collective consciousness and exposure lies a wealth of tacit knowledge of COVID-19 that is independent of the subject expert.

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

April 2025: Masculinities and Sexuality

Masculinities broadly refers to the sets of attributes, behaviours, and expectations commonly associated with men or ‘male power’ in a given culture. With those very broad strokes, we could paint beautiful large canvases that glow richly with translucent colours spreading joy, vitality, and an abundant sense of wellbeing. However, in the current state of our world, the canvases are small, ill-proportioned and thickly layered with carelessly slapped-on murky hues; almost as if men, today, need to be shielded by thick dark crusts of the protections offered by newer and ever more curious forms of masculinities that are harmful to self and others.

UPCOMING ISSUE:

May 2025: Masculinities and Sexuality
