This multi-genre book features stories of women, witches, sea monsters, and mystical saints, accompanied by art and poetry. Collectively they explore themes that have resonated with people for centuries--acts of courage, strength, defiance, and love. Two sisters build a labyrinthine palace to test their suitors . . . a woman swims across a treacherous river at night to meet her forbidden lover . . . a bartendress makes a grave mistake. These folktales have persisted across generations and national boundaries through ritual storytelling and song. The sculptures were created using reclaimed materials: sari fabric, wedding invitations, flowers, shells, and animal bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774151068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Manahil Bandukwala,Nimra Bandukwala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403465879733,"sku":"9781774151068","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6f244b2a-1184-494d-bdd8-15f14b805c2a.jpg?v=1774969326","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/women-wide-awake-stories-sculptures-and-poems-from-sindhi-folklore-9781774151068","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
