The African Muslim woman as a metaphor for women’s strength

Artist Maïmouna Guerresi: I think every woman should demand respect for herself and her work. Most importantly, women should realize the importance of solidarity and their spiritual and intellectual strength. These values should be based on the principles of gender equality. I often portray the image of the African Muslim woman. A metaphor, or more accurately a symbolic value, of women’s strength. Women who – through their own identity – are able to dissolve the existing gender distinction between male and female, women capable of radiating feminine energy – an intuitive, sensitive, and fluid force.
