For Yumna Al-Arashi, the body is the site of power. The Yemeni-Egyptian-American artist, whose first solo museum show, "Body as Resistance," is currently running at Huis Marseille in Amsterdam, began her career as a self-taught documentary photographer before her practice evolved into something more conceptual and political: self-portraiture as resistance.
