Hajer Mirwali: Revolutions, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Revolutions sifts through the grains of Muslim daughterhood to reveal two metaphorical circles inextricably overlapping: shame and pleasure. In an extended conversation with Mona Hatoum's artwork + and - , Revolutions asks how young Arab women - who live in homes and communities where actions are surveilled and categorized as 3aib or not 3aib, shameful or acceptable - make and unmake their identities. Working between a Palestinian and Iraqi poetics drawing from artists like Mahmoud Darwish and Naseer Shamma and a feminist Canadian poetics inspired by Erín Moure, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Nicole Brossard, Revolutions spirals and collapses as we turn and re-turn around its circles.
