Bengal's cultural legacy includes substantial contributions from female artistes, many of whom fought against all odds to get recognised. SPCkraft, an interdisciplinary spoken word collective spearheaded by Sujoy Prasad Chatterjee, is setting up a production that will pay homage to these women's voices.
