Dignity, or karama in Arabic, is a nebulous concept that challenges
us to reflect on issues such as identity, human rights, and faith.
During the Arab uprisings of 2010 and 2011, Egyptians that
participated in these uprisings frequently used the concept of
dignity as a way to underscore their opposition to the Mubarak
regime. Protesting against the indignity of the poverty, lack of
freedom and social justice, the idea of karama gained salience in
Egyptian cinema, popular literature, street art, music, social
media and protest banners, slogans and literature. Based on
interviews with participants in the 2011 protests and analysis of
the art forms that emerged during protests, Zaynab El Bernoussi
explores understandings of the concept of dignity, showing how
protestors conceived of this concept in their organisation of
protest and uprising, and their memories of karama in the aftermath
of the protests, revisiting these claims in the years subsequent to
the uprising.
