Entry Summary:
As more and more Arab women look to join the workforce, cultural expectations that confine them to the role of ‘homemaker’ still hold many back even today. This social pressure combined with the prejudice they face from around the world, further seeds doubt in their minds. Tathqeef, an established organization for continuing education in the region, wanted to reach out to women to encourage them to follow their dreams.To connect with our audience, we interviewed 8 established Arab women and recreated their portraits using Arabic calligraphy. Each portrait unveiled their ambitions, transforming a cultural symbol of femininity into a robe of potential and pride for everyone to see.
