This debate takes place in the context of Lalla Essaydi’s exhibition Les Femmes du Maroc.
The participants have been assigned sides opposing or defending the motion, and each team member has five minutes to argue their allotted case uninterrupted. After that speakers challenge each other and the audience may in turn question the speakers. The event will end with a vote for the more persuasive team.
This is a forum for discussing culture where the unspeakable may be said. Each speaker must play his or her assigned role, regardless of whether they agree or not. Speakers benefit from temporary immunity: what they say during the debate is not necessarily their opinion and they cannot be held to their word afterwards.
