Marrying in Times of War

Culture · Thursday, November 5 · 19:00 · Paris France

L'Institut du Monde Arabe, 1 rue des Fossés-Saint-Bernard

Free

In response to Vive la mariée!, the Institut du monde arabe is organizing a cycle of roundtables on the social, cultural and contemporary issues of marriage in the Arab world.\n\nIn contemporary war contexts, war acts as a brake and constraint that can prevent or delay unions. Marriages do not disappear: they reinvent themselves. Celebrating a union under bombardment becomes an act of resistance, a statement of life and the maintenance of social bonds.\nMore information to come…\nAudience: Adults.
