Since early age Hend Al-Mansour pursued a passion for art. As a child she carved images of women into sand, filled many sketchbooks with her drawings, and was known as an artist by her peers.

1. Facebook Project
This is a series of screen prints that
explore Saudi Arabian women’s lives. I
completed two 30-by-36-inch prints.
The title was inspired by my niece’s
Facebook page post that encouraged
women in Saudi Arabia to drive on a
certain day as a protest. Although the
protest did not happen, the campaign
went viral.

2. Mihrab
Saudi-born artist Hend Al Mansour has long
explored themes related to Arab female equality
and the expression of women as full participants
in contemporary society. Her newest project,
Mihrab, is her most ambitious and
comprehensive artistic endeavor yet, wherein
she reveals private female spiritual practice as
separate from male-dominated religious
parameters.

4. The Secret
In a background of checkered
pattern of Saudi men’s
headdress, two women smile
at us under a flowery curtain.
From their hands flows a swirl
of pink henna pattern within
gold background. Celebrating
beauty is their way to defy
oppression.

5. Mandala Arabica
This is a verse from the
“Book of Women” in the
Quran. My visual
interpretation of this verse is
to celebrate what the
feminine might mean in
Islam. The verse is depicted
without dots, i.e. not easily
readable, so to mirror the
vague statement of the
verse.
