October 4, 2018 – GSA Annual Social Justice Speaker Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From Tehran Streetstyle to the War on Terror: A Conversation on Gender, Feminism, Orientalism, White Supremacy, and Empire through Fashion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presentation by: Hoda Katebi
\nThursday October 4th, 2018 @ 6:00pm (608 Robertson Hall; 杏吧原创 University)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides being used as a measure of one’s clout, fashion is a powerful means of communication, oppression, and resistance. Between Kanye West’s ‘refugee camp’ collection and miniskirts being used as a sign of Afghanistan’s modernization, the way we chose to present our bodies for public consumption is more powerful than might meet the eye. Starting with the images of illegal fashion she documented in her book “Tehran Streetstyle”, Hoda Katebi will guide participants through an engaging conversation exploring the politics of fashion and what it reveals about contemporary structures of violence – and modes of resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoda Katebi is a radical anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist, and Muslim-Iranian creative and community organizer living in Chicago. She is also the founder of JooJoo Azad, a radical publication that aims to challenge the narratives that fuel anti-muslim racism. She has recently launched her international book club #becauseWeveRead<\/a> which now has thousands of participants around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will be free and open to all students and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
