After moving from Saudi Arabia to Minnesota to further a medical career, it didnt take Hend Al-Mansour long to realize that medicine would never be truly fulfilling to her. She found her voice shortly thereafter through printmaking and installation art. Al-Mansour questions the role of women in Saudi Arabian society and put womens rights at the forefront of her work.
