Gender inequality
Description: Our students have been collaborating to explore how gender inequality presents/imposes itself in the U.S. and in Morocco, with focus on visual artwork, visual literacy and hip hop culture. Our shared inquiry question is: As female artists have become more active in the visual and musical arts, how have they been received in both Morocco and the U.S.? Can women strike back through arts?
