Description
This article uses gender to interpret sacred space and ritual. Focusing on the ritual of 'Ashura, the author examines the processes whereby three generations of Iraqi Shi'a women have negotiated and reconstructed their identities vis-a-vis the Iraqi state and US invasion. It examines the relation between the city of Karbala and its pilgrimage industry, and the way it has been used for political agendas. Discussing her installation exhibit of the sacred ritual, the author invites the reader to embark on a journey to identify different layers of meaning and history. A Personal Journey to Sacred Ritual
