Arab Women’s Revolutionary Art: Between Singularities and Multitudes

Join the Gender+ Justice Initiative at Georgetown University, in partnership with the AMENA Foundation, for a discussion of women’s activism and political resistance in North Africa.

In Arab Women’s Revolutionary Art: Between Singularities and Multitudes, Professor Nevine El Nossery examines women’s revolutionary and postrevolutionary artistic works from Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. She unpacks the unique relationship between different artistic modalities and political expression, arguing that art, documentation, and archives have preserved the spirit of the revolution that was sparked in 2011.

Using the art and stories from this book, this discussion will explore critical questions about the gains and roadblocks for women’s rights 15 years after the Arab Spring and in light of new regional developments, such as the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and renewed protests across Morocco, and ongoing women led mobilizations in Iran.
