Execution

Prophet Muhammad said “All humans are equal like the teeth of a comb”. These simple words were the inspiration for this invitation to political debates on the future of women’s rights in the new Egyptian constitution, organized by the Journalism department of the American University in Cairo. Situated in the heart of campus, and standing near 2 meters high, and 7 meters long, the comb dramatized the oppressive and diminishing future of women if the new constitution - written by the extremist muslim brotherhood - were to pass, and a reminded viewers that Islam is a religion of equality, not the extremist version that rules today.
