The Lebanese photographer Marie al-Khazen seized every opportunity
to use her camera during the years that she was active between 1920
and 1940. She not only documented her travels around tourist sites
in Lebanon but also sought creative experimentation with her camera
by staging scenes, manipulating shadows, and superimposing
negatives to produce different effects in her prints. Within her
photographs, bedouins and European friends, peasants and landlords,
men and women comfortably share the same space. Her photographs
include an intriguing collection portraying her family and friends
living their everyday lives in 1920s and '30s Zgharta, a village in
the north of Lebanon. Yasmine Nachabe Taan explores these
photographs, emphasizing the ways in which notions of gender and
class are inscribed within them and revealing how they are charged
with symbols of women's emancipation to today's viewers, through
women's presence as individuals, separate from family restrictions
of that time. Images in which women are depicted smoking
cigarettes, driving cars, riding horses, and accompanying men on
hunting trips counteract the common ways in which women were
portrayed in contemporary Lebanon.
