Power & Privilege Keynote Speaker: Fatimah Hossaini
|
Feature by: 2025 Power & Privilege Symposium Executive Team
|
The Power & Privilege (P&P) Symposium is honored to welcome Afghan-Tehran born artist, photographer, curator and founder of the Mastooraat Organization Fatimah Hossaini to deliver the P&P keynote address today at 6 p.m. in the Reid Campus Center, Young Ballroom.
Celebrated as one of the youngest recipients of the prestigious Hypatia International Award, Hossaini was honored as a rising talent and youth ambassador by the Women’s Forum in France in 2022.
A tireless advocate for women’s and refugee rights, Hossaini’s art poignantly captures narratives of identity and femininity, with a particular focus on the Afghan experience. Renowned for her expertise in staged photography, Fatimah’s use of vibrant color and passionate storytelling are hallmarks of her acclaimed work. Her artwork has been exhibited globally, from solo exhibitions in Europe to renowned art festivals across Asia and the United States. Additionally, Hossaini’s work and thought-provoking articles have been featured in leading publications such as Time, The Guardian, Vogue, Arte and many more.
P&P Symposium Day is Thursday, Feb. 20. All are invited to attend the different sessions throughout the day led by members of the Whitman community! To begin planning your participation, check out the P&P schedule document. A few of the sessions will be available to watch live, at live.whitman.edu.
