This page should not be speedily deleted because Farah Chamma though young is an incredibly influential Arab woman who is currently fighting against her oppression with spoken word. I don't believe this page should be deleted simply for being lackluster on the opinion pieces of the article. I simply was getting the biographical facts done first. More time should be given before such harsh judgement and action is taken. --Daniellemath (talk) 04:27, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Education

Farah studied Philosophy and Sociology at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, through which she moved to L'Université Paris-Sorbonne in Paris for her final year. In September 2018, she pursued an MA in Performance and Culture at Goldsmiths, University of London. In fact, Farah crowdfunded over $14,000 in order to fund her MA studies.[3]

Career

Farah worked as a Spanish teacher at the International School of Arts and Sciences in Dubai from October, 2015 until June, 2017. She was then recruited by the Louvre Abu Dhabi as a tour guide and worked there from October 2017 until August 2018.

Performances

Farah became known on the internet after publishing a YouTube video on May 26, 2013, reciting her Arabic poem, How Must I Believe, which is a general criticism of despotic and religious governments in the Arab world. The video was published through a platform called The FLEX and received more than 250,000 views.[4] On January 4, 2014, she published another video performance,The Nationality, in which she describes the struggles of Arab nationalities, in relation to bureaucracy, migration, and paperwork.[5] In addition to her video appearances, Farah performs many live shows accompanied by musicians. Her most recent performance took place in London on February 15, 2019 with oud and guitar player, Maruan Betawi and percussionist, Phelan Burgoyne. It was organised by MARSM.[6]

  • There are issues with this text which have been identified in the article through the use of inline templates. Those are:
  1. The difference between the two Sorbonne Universities needs to be delineated.
  2. A timeframe for her studies at the Abu Dhabi Sorbonne needs to be given.
  3. The text requires more references.
  4. Whether or not the MA was achieved at Goldsmith's — and if it was, in what year — along with a source reference.

Ultimately, the text was approved because it offered prose which was superior to that which had previously been in the article. But the items which require clarification need to be dealt with nonetheless. Regards,  Spintendo  17:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
