Hazem Harb, Gauze, 2023. Gauze on cardboard.

The word "gauze" holds a powerful resonance with collective histories, inseparable from the corporeal experience. Historically used in ancient and modern medicine for bodily envelopment, gauze signals the initiation of the act of repair. Serving as a visual announcement, it bears witness to injuries hidden from view. Known as "ــــــــــــــــــاﺷش" (shash) in Arabic, the English name "gauze" finds its etymological roots in the city of Gaza, Palestine, where the material has been historically crafted and from where Harb originates.

Inji Efflatoun (1924-1989): Egyptian artist, feminist, and activist. She wrote Thamanun milyun imraa ma'ana (Eighty Million Women with Us) in 1948 and Nahnu al-nisa al-misriyyat (We Egyptian Women) in 1949. These popular political pamphlets linked class and gender oppression, connecting both to imperialist oppression
