From 15 to 16 April, a two day conference will take place in London about and for Arab creative women. The conference will bring together over twenty artists including designers, filmmakers, journalists and performers from the Arab world to spark a debate about the role of creative women in their societies and the obstacles they encounter in the creative sector.

The conference, which is organized by the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (FASS), Kingston University and the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) will mark the beginning of a series of discussions about creativity as a tool in gender representation and the role of the educational sector in fostering this creativity.

The conference proceedings will be then published in a special issue of Viewpoint magazine by the Middle East Institute in Washington DC.
