GENDER AND BODY POLITICS: ARTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND ITS DIASPORAS:
In conversation with the artist Amitis Motavelli, we will discuss her work in relation to cultural resistance and survival of people living in poverty, conflict, and war. Through many mediums—including sculpture, video, performance, and collaborative public art – her work asks questions about violence, occupation, and the path to decolonization, while invoking the significance of a secular grassroots struggle. This conversation is part of a joint Middle East Institute (MEI) at Columbia University and Center for Middle East Societies (CMES) at Brown University series on gender, art and body politics in the Middle East and its diasporas. The series examines intersecting inequalities and body politics expressed, represented and transgressed in both visual and performance art.
