Pointing to the Future
Manal Al-Dowayan
Saudi ArabiaGALLERYCONVERSATION
“Pointing to the Future” brings together Saudi women’s hands—different tribes, ages, and social backgrounds. One does not differentiate between the hands as they all point to the same goal.

As one of the most deprived social groups in terms of human rights, women are usually the - source of hope and inspiration for their families and communities. The power that you sense from the firm pointing towards the dark unknown reflects the determination of many women in the Middle East and beyond, who continue the struggle to build a better world for their daughters and granddaughters, often with no hope of seeing their dreams become a reality. Knowing this, they continue to point to the future. I hope to bring about change by inspiring women through unity and by leaving my art for the next generation to enjoy and understand.
