“This panel brings together three leading figures who navigate the intersections of gender, politics, and diaspora through performance art, film, and academic research. The conversation will explore how these artists/scholars utilize their crafts to challenge norms, amplify marginalized voices, and navigate complex political landscapes. Central topics will include the portrayal of gender in media, digital activism, in particular the #WomanLifeFreedom movement, and the role of diaspora artists as cultural and political agents of change.”
