Cairo

Aya Tarek, Egyptian, born 1989

‹›

1 / 4

With a nod to Hollywood’s Film Noir genre, Egyptian artist Aya Tarek’s mural confronts the viewer with an image dominated by Arab women with men remaining in obscurity. Aya places these women front and center, challenging viewers to evaluate their perception of immigrant women of color in American pop-culture and public spaces.
