EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Fadel Senna, we witness the empowering spirit of Camelia Mentak, a Moroccan cross-biker and stylist, as she fearlessly navigates an off-road course in Marrakesh. Dated December 19,2015, this image encapsulates the essence of female emancipation in Morocco through motorcycling. Mentak firmly believes that women riding motorbikes symbolize a significant step towards gender equality and liberation in her country. As she effortlessly maneuvers her cross-motorbike with grace and determination, she challenges societal norms and breaks barriers imposed on women. The city of Marrakesh stands out among other more conservative Moroccan cities for its larger number of female motorbike riders. It serves as a beacon of progressiveness where women like Mentak can freely express their passion for motorcycles without fear or judgment. Fadel Senna's lens captures not only the physicality of Mentak's ride but also the underlying social issues at play. This photograph beautifully portrays the intersection between society and individual rights while highlighting the ongoing struggle for gender equality worldwide. This powerful visual narrative reminds us that true emancipation lies within breaking stereotypes and embracing one's passions regardless of societal expectations. Through her unwavering determination to conquer new terrains both on her bike and within society itself, Camelia Mentak becomes an inspiration to all those seeking freedom from limitations placed upon them based on their gender.
