About this post Sandy wrote:
Coming
from a family that experienced early marriage as my parents were
married at a very young age, this has always been a red line for me, not
only a red line but also an issue to tackle in my art and activism. I
always try to express my fear and rage in my art, the fear of ignorance
and poverty that conditioned societies to be cruel, and the rage on
capitalism and exploitation that left people with neither choices nor
chances.
Thankfully one of the courses I took (GRA212 Storyboard with
Ms. Zeina Jamal Eddine), paved my way to let out my passion into
illustration; for instance one of my friends who happened to be an
academic researcher and writer at An-Nahar News Paper was amazed by one
of those illustrations and gave me this huge opportunity.
This is not
only a huge opportunity for me but also a forum that makes my and every
woman's voice heard. We will keep turning our thoughts and opinions
into art and actions hoping this will change our regime first and its
law second, until then we will keep fighting NONSTOP.
