Al Hayya is a magazine that publishes literary and visual content on the works, interests and strife of women, bilingually in Arabic and English. For its pilot issue on Agency, Al Hayya’s contributors engage with a variety of different interpretations of and perspectives on the word: from social and political action, engagement to consent, pleasure, personal style, and other expressions of physical, bodily agency. It was carefully curated to include collection of features, interviews, opinion pieces and visual essays tackling the topic from different angles.
