Exhibition of Abolish Article 153 include more then 50 artworks in various media by Kuwaiti and Middle Eastern artists: Amani Althuwaini, Farah Salem, Maha Al-Asaker, Mehdi Darvishi, Tagreed Albagshi, Thuraya Lynn Al-Jasem, Zahra (Zouz The Bird) Al-Mahdi, Aya Khair, Jad El Khoury, Karima Benothman, Fatma Abodoma, Behnaz Ghsemi, Majdah Al-Sabah and Amira Behbehani.

Campaign aims to abolish article 153 from Kuwait’s penal code, which effectively gives men regulatory, judicial and executive power over their female kin in blatant disregard of the constitution, international agreements on human and women’s rights and even the Islamic Sharia. This law states that any man who surprises his mother, sister, daughter or wife in an unsavory act with a man and kills her or him or both will be treated as committing a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 3 years’ jail time and/or a fine of 3000 rupees (KD 14).
