Imtiaz Ali’s 5-minute film begins as any trite gangster flick but rapidly flips things around both in narrative and in audience perception.

Themes

In Plainspeak publishes two issues with a theme every month. A cross-cutting theme across all issues is how we can expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

March 2023: Narratives and Sexuality

How do we narrativise sexuality in empowering, rights-based and pleasure-affirming ways? How can narratives help in creating inclusive and safe spaces, especially in relation to understanding and expressing our sexualities in a pluralistic manner? This month’s issue of In Plainspeak attempts to probe into these questions by focusing on the manifold connections and conflations of sexuality and narratives.

UPCOMING ISSUES:

April 2023: Sports and Sexuality

May 2023: Humour and Sexuality
