The Arab Store is a gallery of arab absurdities captured in satirical, whimsical, facetious gadgets. All gadgets are vintage artifacts hacked electronically to illustrate ludicrous urban legends, heirloom superstitions and crazy habits that characterize everyday life in the arab world, its sexuality, social relations, political instabilities and economic disparities. By exposing funny aspects of everyday arab life, we invite arabs all over the world to join us in our campaign to laugh at ourselves, but also (and more importantly) to present a nonthreatening, charming alternate view of the arab world to a western media that often tends to homogenize arabs and portray them as aggressive people in repressive societies, which we, by the way, respectfully disagree with.
