AFTER THE LAST SKY Performance

Performance art is my platform for the rebellion against traditional perceptions of the ‘woman’ in the Arab world (Maiada Aboud) In Maiada Aboud’s one-hour piece Stigmata II, her body becomes the performative site of the scapegoat’s crucifixion and stoning. Using the language of her body, she challenges patriarchy. Her works revolve around the interdependencies between social and political structures and their impact on the individual. With endurance and performance art, Aboud contributes to addressing the margins and visibilities of absence.
