PROLOGUE and EPILOGUE: ARAB FEMINISM PAST and PRESENT

Prologue and Epilogue: Arab Feminism Past and Present is an art exhibition on the theme of Arab feminism and its impact on Arab women artists. Curated by Sunbula: Arab Feminists for Change, this exhibition highlights Arab/Arab American women artists in California. Arab and Arab American women make a sizable community in the US. Yet, Arab feminism is rarely visible in American culture and excluded from public discussion, dialogue and decision-making. This exhibition will promote knowledge by and about Arab and Arab American feminists that is not disguised by archaic Orientalists and patronizing discourses. Prologue and Epilogue is a multi-disciplinary visual presentation that consists of sculpture, painting, installation, live poetry reading, and photography engaging Arab/Arab American women artists in an intergenerational, creative dialogue about issues addressing Arab feminisms. http://www.sunbulawomen.org/
