Emirati Women’s Day: des artistes revendiquent le pouvoir de raconter leurs propres histoires
Ahead of Emirati Women’s Day, celebrated on August 28, two Emirati artists, Aysha Saif Hemrani Al-Shamsi and Moza Al-Falasi, highlight the importance of women taking ownership of their own stories and voices.
For Aysha Al-Shamsi, art becomes especially meaningful when audiences can recognize themselves and their own experiences in it. She believes that women should have the opportunity to tell their own stories about their culture, memories, and perspectives.
Moza Al-Falasi, meanwhile, emphasizes the importance of creativity, experimentation, and self-discovery. She believes that greater female participation in creative industries enriches the region's cultural narrative and inspires future generations.
Key takeaway: Beyond artistic expression, these artists encourage women to take a lasting place in creative fields, allowing them to preserve, shape, and share their own stories.
