Prologue and Epilogue: Arab Feminism Past and Present is an art 
exhibition on the theme of Arab feminism and its impact on Arab women 
artists.  Curated by Sunbula: Arab Feminists for Change, this 
exhibition highlights Arab/Arab American women artists in 
California.  Arab and Arab American women make a sizable community in 
the US.  Yet, Arab feminism is rarely visible in American culture and 
excluded from public discussion, dialogue and decision-making.  This 
exhibition will promote knowledge by and about Arab and Arab American 
feminists that is not disguised by archaic Orientalists and 
patronizing discourses.  Prologue and Epilogue is a 
multi-disciplinary visual presentation that consists of sculpture, 
painting, installation, live poetry reading, and photography engaging 
Arab/Arab American women artists in an intergenerational, creative 
dialogue about issues addressing Arab feminisms.
