10 March 2008, 6-8:30pm
Khalili Lecture Theatre, SOAS, Russell Square
Reception: 6-6:30pm
In the context of the ongoing occupation and escalating violence against women in Iraq, we are organizing an event to share experiences and stories about and by Iraqi women.
We will present photos and narratives by a group of 8 Iraqi women – and a six year old child – who participated in a unique creative event in the spring of 2007. Using digital photography, the women set out at considerable risk to make deeply personal and emotional photo stories of their lives in Iraq, now.
Nadje Al-Ali:
“The Impact of the occupation on Iraqi Women’s Every day lives”
Film showing (15 min on Open Shutters)
Maysoon Pachachi:
“Stories and Images of Iraqi Women Under Occupation”
The event is sponsored by the Centre for Gender Studies, SOAS.
