On the De-Orientation of the „Gaze". Visual Art as a Space for Gender Debate in the Mena Region
Contesting the problematic perception of femininity within the Middle East and North Africa through the medium of art is not only a result of questioning the traditions of one’s own culture, but is strongly connected to the issue of the „imagery of the Orient” and the Western gaze, especially visible throughout the colonial era in the region. This text is an invitation to undertake a visual exercise with the artists, leading to a process of de-orientalising the symbolism of the body in art practices.
