The Body Narratives presents an intimate evening of film to support the anticipated exhibition and workshops entitled A Different Mirror in April 2014. The event aims to introduce audiences to, and encourage support for, the exhibition’s artists and workshops, as well as generate funding for the innovative project. Wadjda is a tale of a 10 year old spirited girl who longs to own a bike to race against her friend Abdullah. Wadjda is renowned for being the first film to come from Saudi Arabia directed by a woman in a notably male dominated kingdom. The director Haifaa Al Mansour gives viewers a rare insight into the barely known country by contrasting the independent minded Wadjda with the conservative setting of Riyadh society.
