Director’s Update: September 2018
We’re fully into fall! As the meme says: Our favorite season is the fall of the patriarchy!
One of our first events this fall was a performance called “Taa Sakina” in collaboration with LAU’s Department of Communication Arts. “Taa Sakina” follows the stories of twelve women at the Abbasiya Psychiatric Hospital in Egypt dealing with mental health issues. The play was followed by a panel discussion informed by experts and fueled by student questions.
