Cultural/Context information for the jury

Despair - Joy

Tell the jury about the typography.

Mutilated Words” is a print and poster campaign, using handcrafted Arabic calligraphy and carefully chosen words, mutilated and stitched back together just like the victims of FGM. The words reflected the physical, psychological and social damage of FGM.
