The Body Concepts Guide

About The Guidebook.

Written and designed as an attempt to understand and criticize how authority within our society imposes its hegemony and control over our bodies. While also introducing concepts which act as tools that can be used to dissolve these structural oppressions, liberating our bodies, and creating a safe unified language to face this repression without imposing more constructs, molds and restrictions on the marginalized groups that are subject to such hegemony and repression, but on the contrary, allowing these “bodies” to break away from norms, stereotypes and other identities that are imposed on them.

This project was developed with a local artist {Ms. Serene Gharaibeh} & content creator {Mr. Musa Shadeedi}, with the collaboration of Aman Space.
