In this deeply personal account, author Omar Kholeif takes readers on a journey through the life and work of Nil Yalter. Born in Cairo in 1938 and raised in Turkey, Yalter has lived in France since 1965. Over the course of six decades, the artist has created genre-expanding artistic projects across disciplines, innovating across both form and content regardless of the complex sociopolitical context that has surrounded her. Dr. Kholeif fuses the genres of auto/biography to unfurl a social and historical context that examines concepts of ethnicity, the diaspora, and feminism. Gender and sexuality are unbuckled, presenting a distinct picture of the changing cultural climate both in France and globally during the last century.
