TitleTHE BREAD EXAM
BriefBecause tradition prevented Lebanese women from talking openly about their bodies, we had to show them how to perform a self-exam without ever mentioning nor showing breasts. However, they respect these traditions and don’t want to break away from them. We knew we couldn’t overcome this taboo without a deep understanding and respect for tradition. So we used it to our advantage and decided to join forces with one of the oldest customs in the world: baking bread.“The Bread Exam” is a recipe video where a traditional Lebanese baker, Um Ali, demonstrates the steps of a breast self-exam through a similar gesture: the act of kneading and pressingdough. The gestures are shown without a single mention of breasts, transforming an intimate and shameful subject into an acceptable, everyday experience. This life-saving gesture could then become a monthly ritual for women.
