Saudi Women Artist
For my semester project, I choose make a tumblr blog on Saudi Arabian women artist who portray the lives of women in Saudia Arabia through different forms of art. Their work is largely feminist in nature posing questions on the current political climate and women’s rights. They question existing parameters and challenge proposed gender roles and social norms. They use art to express injustices felt and give voice to an otherwise marginalized self. They have little to no say in what they can do, what they can say, what they're allowed to wear, and whom they can make eye contact with. In the Quran, the Muslim holy book, it states that men and women are seen as equal.
