Title A name given to the resource Harb Kabira (A Big War) Subject The topic of the resource Song Description An account of the resource This is a video of the band Bent al-Masarwa performing live. The band made their first album in 2015, after meeting at a creative writing workshop organized by feminist organization Nazra for Feminist Studies. Their songs are based on women's real life stories. The band travels around Egypt, organizing workshops for women, where they are encouraged to write about their lives and the issues facing them, such as domestic violence, early marriage, FGM, and racism. According to a band member, “We work on documenting life experiences and present them in an artistic form as a way to resist the dominant culture, which perpetrates stereotypes of those communities … and reinforces masculinity, patriarchy and other systems of oppression,” she added (Aswat Masriya 2016).
