Monira Al Qadiri (KW) is fascinated by conventional and unconventional masculinity. She was born in Senegal and studied fine arts in Japan because she wanted nothing more than to become a (male) manga character. She first mounted the stage with a performance about this history (creepy male doll of herself included). For the Tashweesh Festival she will create a new lecture performance about the role of gender in Kuwait and Japan.
As part of TASHWEESH, a 10-day multidisciplinary festival about feminism in the Middle-East, North Africa and Europe. w/ Goethe-Institut Brüssel
