Description
The life and work of the Egyptian painter and activist in the women's movement, pioneer of modern Egyptian art.
A valuable addition to Barjeel Art Foundation's publications on Arab art, this book sheds new light on The Life and Work of Inji Efflatoun. In addition to a number of newly commissioned essays, the book presents an English translation of a volume originally published in Arabic in 1993 under the title Mudhakirat Inji Efflatoun: Min al-Tufula ila al-Sajn [The Memoir of Inji Efflatoun: From Childhood to Prison].
Based on an interview with the artist—a leading Egyptian feminist, political activist, curator, and visual artist—the book contextualises the political, social, and cultural dimensions of a complex and turbulent period in Egypt's history.
