Image, Data, Actor: Unpacking Images of Muslim Women
Organised by: TheatreWorks (Singapore)Performed by: Nurul Huda Rashid
Synopsis:
T:>Works' PerForm continues with its third fellow, researcher-writer Nurul Huda Rashid, currently pursuing her PhD in Cultural Studies. Her research focuses on images and narratives, visual and sentient bodies, feminisms, and the intersections between them. Her digital lecture, Image, Data, Actor: Unpacking Images of Muslim Women will be moderated by T:>Works' Artistic Director Dr. Ong Keng Sen.
The Muslim woman has been a consistent subject of representation across regimes of historical colonialism and Orientalism, in events such as the Arab Spring and post-9/11, and mediated widely via news and social media. These have included variegated representations from the odalisque to the 'oppressed' which have converged the identity of the Muslim woman to the single image and symbol of the hijab (veil). Spanning across different bodies of work, this lecture will introduce and plot Nurul's photographic, annotative, and participatory research that have engaged with representations of Muslim women from the daguerreotype to data.
