Have you ever seen a Muslim woman wearing a golden facemask? Why does she wear it? Forget the stereotypes: each mask tells a story about an individual woman, and the depth and variety of these stories need to be heard. #tweetyourthesis@ExeterDoctoral
It was a great pleasure to present my research on the facemask culture in the Gulf with a special focus on the UAE at the webinar “UAE Traditions, Heritage and Culture” organised by @UAEEmbTokyo. I very much look forward to the upcoming webinar series!
We are hoping that our book will be added to the international canon on the topic and will be the first step towards decolonizing the history of design in the region," said Bahia Shehab, co-author of 'A History of Arab Graphic Design' (@AUCPress, forthcoming, November 2020).

I like this painting so much that I decided to make adjustments to make it more traditionally accurate ❤️
