Director Statement

Woman is my last name لقبي امرأة is a celebration of the full spectrum of womanhood, from the complicated vulnerability to the hidden strength.

In the patriarchal culture, I have been raised in, my last name can only be the name of my father and forefathers. With my title I wish to break from structural, cultural and emotional dependencies and instead stand in my own right, with my own name.
