Inji Efflatoun emerged as a fearless voice for the oppressed in mid-20th-century Egypt, using her art to depict the harsh realities faced by the poor.
Despite her affluent upbringing, Efflatoun dedicated her life to revealing the injustices of society, producing powerful works that resonated with political and social themes.
Jailed during Nasser's crackdown on communism, Efflatoun's time in prison became a fertile ground for her creativity, resulting in some of her most moving and impactful pieces.
As a painter and political activist, Efflatoun not only highlighted the struggles of Egyptian women and laborers, but she also forged a path for future Arab artists.
