From the venue:
A protest by a Tunisian street vendor ignited rebellion and regime change that spurred a tumultuous year across the Arab world. Now, armed with media, vibrant voices are emerging from the region to challenge political control and cultural traditions. What is often called the “cradle of civilization” is in a state of change. Is this truly an Arab Spring? Revolutions can be crushed and abandoned. Where are the uprisings today and where will they go from here? From the frontlines of the Arab uprisings, activists, scholars and journalists will come together to explore these pressing issues in this historic time.
