Examining the legacy of one of the biggest social and political movements ever experienced in the Middle East.
About this Event
The Arab Spring brought about lasting transformations across the Middle East, radically altering the political and socio-economic fabric of the region.
Sparking into life in Tunisia with the ‘Jasmine Revolution’, a series of protests calling for greater social freedoms quickly spread across the rest of the region in 2011, to Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Libya, and Bahrain among others.
While some grassroots campaigns, such as in Tunisia and Egypt, forced significant changes domestically, other descended into chaos and civil war, like those in Libya, Syria and Yemen.
