KaMeeNi is a powerful narrative that explores the intersection of gender, culture, and identity within the Pakistani-Australian community.

At its core, the project examines the impact of patriarchy and misogyny, bringing to light the disempowerment of women, their resilience in the face of systemic and personal injustices.

KaMeeNi is a new writing/development showing for the stage through emerging writer Abida Malik. Her Maiden work emerged from the Pakistani-Australian community, through Nautanki’s Drama~Sutra playwriting project.

ABOUT THE WRITER

Abida Malik started her creative journey with Nautanki Theatre on stage with 2019 hit play Curry Kings of Parramatta. Since then, she has worked on stage and screen while balancing her day job as a business analyst and a mother of four. Abida has a passion for reading and formed a Book Club. Her passion lies in women’s empowerment and capacity building, and she wants her writing to reflect the subjects close to her heart.

Kameeni (the Bitch) is Abida’s inaugural writing for the stage. She is stepping up to co-direct the play along with Neel Banerjee.
