What does it mean to be in this body? How should I behave? How should I relate to other bodies? Gender is how we interpret the body according to encultured beliefs and meanings. Gender identity is distinct from sex or sexual orientation. While many societies are organized around a gender binary (man versus woman), our understanding of gender can shift along with cultural norms. The 'Documenting Gender' Collective Photo Action will explore what gender means today in the space of Beirut, and in Lebanon more broadly.
The Collective Photo Action will start with an evening of public presentations and conversation on gender. For the following three days participants will set out to document the topic through photography.
