大象传媒

To mark Democracy Day on the 大象传媒, Matthew Bannister speaks to Kuwaiti artist Shurooq Amin. She's known for her controversial depictions of the double standards she sees in Arab society. As a result, she is not allowed to exhibit her work in her home country. This hasn't deterred her and she continues to speak out against what she regards as injustices in the Gulf states. She began by telling Matthew that as a child, she enjoyed a privileged lifestyle.
