Majlis al Jinn (Arabic: مجلس الجن) is the published product of five years of research and collection of books, manuscripts, and images as part of Morehshin Allahyari’s She Who Sees The Unknown series (2016–2021) – a multi-faceted art project in which the artist uses digital modeling, sculpture, installation, and moving image to create new stories about female and queer monstrous, specifically Jinn, figures of Islamicate origin. Morehshin uses the myths associated with them to explore the catastrophes of colonialism, patriarchism, and environmental degradation in relation to the SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) region.
