Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi is campaigning, not in the usual way we here at the US are used to hear. It is not a political campaign but an artistic campaign for womens rights. Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi has a friend, a Greek friend. Her name is Aliki Moschis-Gauguet. She and Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi noticed that the only depictions they saw of Muslim women had were images of oppression. The two women, Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi and Aliki Moschis-Gauguet decided they wanted to show to the world the real muslim women, the women behind the veils. They want to change the perception of the world towards Muslim women. The Muslim woman behind veils and behind the oppression by the Muslim culture. Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi is the founder and director of the Royal Society of Fine Arts of Jordan and has taken the exhibit “Breaking the Veils: Women Artists from the Islamic World,” on the road. They now are at the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. Aliki Moschis-Gauguet is the president of the Pan-Mediterranean Women Artists Network, and along with Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi have found the answer they were looking for in art. Aliki Moschis- Gauguet has been supported by the Greek government in her international awareness campaigns and has been elected on the board of Governors of the Anna Lindh Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures. Alongside with Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi, they have created a traveling exhibit featuring female artists from Islamic countries. The show “Breaking the Veils: Women Artists From the Islamic World” began its three-year United States tour at the Clinton Presidential Library, where it will be on view through Sept. 14. It is a great exhibit. According to Princess Wijdan Al Hashemi some works are by Buddhists, Christians and Hindus from the Arab world.
