For Saudi Arabian curator and installation artist, Wejdan Reda, 'in this segregated world the male-female dichotomy is linked to a public-private world where females are associated with the concept of indoors and males with outdoors' (Al Munajjed,1997). She thus creates a space which reflects upon the self-representation of women in Saudi society and issues surrounding the politics of identity, repression and self-censorship.

 

Reda will display the work of four Saudi female artists- Arwa Al-Neami, Sarah Attar, Meaad Hanafi and Wa'ad Al-Mujalli- within a purpose built structure which references traditional housing in the country's Hejaz region as well as sacred Islamic geometry. 

 

As an interactive installation piece, male visitors to Wejdan’s constructed space will not be permitted to enter the female domain nor will female visitors be able to gain physical access to a separated male environment, they will, however, be able to catch a glimpse through small peep-hole like windows placed at intervals en route.
