Sharq.Org launches campaign #IAmNotAVase

Sharq.Org this week launched a social media campaign with the hashtag #IAmNotAVase in celebration of women who refuse to be seen as vases and simple decorative elements with no true societal value or contribution.

The campaign included graphic posters and a short film that showcase the Syrian women who participated in the theatre production of “I Am Not a Vase” and their thoughts on womanhood.

“I Am Not A Vase” – Voices of Strength | أنا مو مزهرية – أصوات قوة from Sharq.Org on Vimeo.

The campaign was inspired by the passion and determination of the cast of the theatrical production “I Am Not a Vase”, produced by Sharq in partnership with Alexandra Sandels Firma and the Swedish Institute, and staged in Lebanon and Sweden in 2019. Read more about the play.

Why we document stories

Being able to share their individual stories gives storytellers a sense of ownership and control and can be very empowering. It also promotes self-reflection and critical thinking.
