What is Punany?
The Punany Poets brand is a registered service mark of Jessica Holter. Created in 1995 after the death of Eric "Eazy E" Wright of AIDS, The Punany Poets brand was created to serve as a title through which sexual issues of the African American community (women in particular) could come to the forefront of public health discussions. Since the year 2000, The Punany Poets theater company has produced Literary, Television/Video,Audio/Radio entertainment as well as Public Service Announcements .In the year 2000, The Punany Poets brand was introduced to the world on HBO's Real Sex Documentary in a stirring demonstration of Black Erotica that has sparked legions of voices in homes and on poetry stages across the country. Since 2001 The Punany Poets have toured in live theater and club productions patterned after the HBO segment but with elements of theatrics, comedy and drama added. Touring has further enhanced the popularity of the brand, and has caused a flood of requests from major metropolitan cities to small towns.
To call The Punany Poets "Cutting Edge" is a gross understatement. “Compared by Scholars to Theater of The Oppressed” The Punany Poets use a raw and unapologetic form of urban based missionary art, to hammer home their fervent ideas about sex, poverty, and AIDS… Holter's own passionate response when questioned about her methodology is proof of the project’s bold and unique nature.
"When the project began in 1995, only 10% of AIDS cases were among heterosexual people... today we are 90%. Our silence and radical religious theories about sexuality is killing the African American at a faster rate than gunfire, crack and pork, yet we seem obsessed with the belief that if we hide behind puritanical faith, while still engaging in worldly behavior, God will spare us."
Holter contends that only the truth will set us free from the reality that has become a nightmare. By encouraging conversation between African American men and women whose relationship has been crippled by the conditions of slavery, within and outside of Africa, we can begin to find a new path to sexual understanding," she says.
These are some of topics of conversations created in The Punany Poets' Books, DVD's, Visual Art, Advertising and Live Performances to serve the purpose of untelling the lies that destroy us, body and soul.
