| Summary: | "A valuable addition to Barjeel Art Foundation's publications on Arab art, this book sheds new light on Inji Efflatoun's biography and work. 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.--Salwa Mikdadi, art historian, author and educator"--back cover. |
