Abstract

The use of symbols in visual art is a technique which has been handed down over generations. In contemporary art, it has had a particular resonance, particularly in societies where limits are imposed on a particular demographic, within legal regimes which do not guarantee the right to free expression, or under censorship. But the political and social movements, indeed, the changes which have taken place in the religious sphere with regard to women in Saudi Arabia over the last ten years, have made their struggle itself into a symbol, and its artistic expression through symbols into a rich source for analytic readings.
