Following the screening, filmmaker Julia Meltzer will join a panel to explore the impact of women’s mosques and religious spaces around the world, the commonalities that these spaces share, as well as the ways in which each women’s mosque has its own distinct set of practices based on the unique culture, history, and politics within each country. The panel will feature both experts and visitors who will discuss the women’s mosques, madrassas, and musallahs in Syria, China, and Yemen.
