Arab Artists for Social Transformation
to
Espai Avinyó Avinyó 52, 08002 Barcelona
This exhibition has been developed by the Xabaca project, an initiative born out of a collaboration with NOVACT, Al Fanar and Jiwar Creació i Societat. Its ultimate aim is the creation of an international art network for the empowerment of women creators from Arab nations to protect their rights and freedom of expression. Xabaca launched a scholarship last December, which it awarded to five female Arab artists: Farah Ben Mansour (Tunisia), Fatima Mortada (Lebanon), Haya Zaatry (Palestine), Houda Lakhdar (Morocco) and Sofia Aissaoui (Morocco). Espai Avinyó is offering guided tours of their work, which it is displaying on July 19th and the 20th.
