On a fifth day of this year’s festival we will turn to Morocco and\u00a0the documentary Casablanca Calling<\/em><\/a>. Anti-islam is deep-seated in Western media so this program\u00a0aims to increase the understanding of Arab women’s daily life as well as highlighting the relationship between feminism and Islam.<\/p>\n

Casablanca Calling is the story of a quiet social revolution in Morocco.\u00a0In a country where over 60% of women have never been to school, a new generation of\u00a0women have started work as official Muslim leaders. They are called Morchidats or spiritual\u00a0guides.<\/p>\n

We have invited Prof. Wendy Meryem Kural Shaw, an Islamic Art historian who will tell us more about women in Islam.<\/p>\n

Turkish writer\u00a0G\u00f6ksu Kunak\u00a0has\u00a0shared a text with us which will be distributed to all guests to interpret in silence.<\/p>\n
