Balady

Balady

Balady starts from the fears of a woman, asking herself if belly dance reflects the cultural contradictions of her multiple identities. How are our bodies affected by stereotypes and expectations from men and women alike? How do our bodies move in a rapidly changing society? Can our bodies influence our political or social context? May accepting our bodies and moving them freely lead us to freedom? A short film will be screened that explores this through belly dance workshops, interviews, and observations of street artists and activists in Egypt, Tunisia, and Spain.
