An Arab Woman’s Thoughts on Trump

Instagram

We just hit 50% of our fundraising goal and it’s all because of you! Thank you all for sharing, donating, and for your words of encouragement. We’re truly part of the most amazing community on the internet, and we can’t wait to expand our projects irl! Here’s to raising the second half of our funding!!!!!! 💕

Our festival is £20 away from being 50% funded! Do you know someone who could get us there? Share the link in our bio!

Due to popular demand, we have another #DardishiSpotlight post for you this week! Today we’re shining our spotlight on queer Egyptian belly dancer, Shroukie (@thedancingqueer)! “I dance because it connects me to my roots and culture. I dance because it makes me happy. But perhaps most importantly, I dance as a form of protest...” ✨

Every week we’ll be sharing the work of an Arab woman that we admire using the hashtag #DardishiSpotlight. Today we’re shining our spotlight on the work of Jordanian artist Kenda Shotar! You can find more of her vibrant journal pages on instagram as @kendarts! Whose work would you like to see next?✨🐝

We are developing a festival that will showcase the work of Arab womxn! The festival will take place at the Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow, from March 8th 2019 (International Women’s Day 2019) to March 10th 2019, and will feature visual art, film, craft, performance and music produced by Arab women and Arab non-binary people. With the rise of right-wing politics in Europe, and the widespread racism, homophobia, anti-refugee, anti-immigrant and anti-migrant rhetoric in the mainstream British press, we feel this is an especially pertinent time to be holding a festival of this nature. This project is not for profit, and we are currently raising funds to pay staff and artists’ fees and cover overhead costs. You can read more about our budget on our gofundme profile, which is linked in our bio. Help support this important work by donating if you can and by sharing! 🌟 Collage by @samarziadat, featuring Arab-British architect Zaha Hadid.
