What does it mean to be a woman in your localities? is a collective writing and drawing workshop.

The aim of this workshop is to question the existence of women (or their fight over their existence) and to understand what it means to be a woman in different localities.

Women's fight over their freedom as well as the controversial role of Middle Eastern women in the Islamic world will be discussed in response to the outcome of the workshop. This workshop will aim to raise an awareness to the indistinct role of women in society and the fight for their existence.

Cards with questions on them will be distributed and participants will be expected to answer these questions with a sketch, a short text or with keywords. These responses will be collected into a collective and organic text.
