Text-Tiles of Dissent: Human Rights and Her Liberties in Contemporary Palestinian Art

This academic inquiry addresses a noted gap within feminist art discourse theory through a scrutinisation of visual artworks that employ language and writing as central and pivotal means by which to critically confront the issue of violence against women. Specifically focusing on the Palestinian national minority’s existence within the State of Israel, the article delves into an artwork that unpacks the oppressive socialisation endured by Palestinian women. It analyses a visual glossary of hate speech that perpetuates women’s subjugation to patriarchal norms, particularly encapsulated in the concept of ‘family honour’.
