“My name is Anam. I began to wear a hijab earlier this year after attending Islamic lectures with my naani (grandmother) in the colony. My mother does not cover her hair and neither do my sisters. Why did I start wearing a hijab? Bus! Mairee marzee! (My wish!)” This encounter with Anam was quite eye-opening for me. For years I have criticized acts of veiling employed by girl children. I have seen girls within family and the larger community struggle with taking on and removing the hijab. I am aware that societal pressure and coercion can influence younger girls to take on veils over their hair, without fully comprehending the complex reasons behind their acts of veiling. However, as can be seen through this collaboration with Anam, the women in Anam’s immediate family, like her mother and sisters, choose not to cover their hair. There is no compulsion in Anam’s living environment for her to veil her hair. Her father, the patriarch of the family, is more keen on educating his daughters than worrying about whether their hair is veiled or not. Yet, Anam has decided to take on the hijab. I had to check my own biases here, because before meeting Anam, I had already presumed that her choice to veil her hair was imposed on her by her family members, but this was not the case. Join us at the Emergence Symposium: Arts & Equity, Leading Social Change (Humber College, Toronto) on November 21, 2018 where I will be presenting my artistic and academic research on veiling practices. Register now on EventBrite.

You are cordially invited to “Art & Storytelling: SPEAK UP” on view at Sheridan Davis Campus! My work is in great company with fellow artists: Tara Krebs, Annie Wong and Anasimone George. This exhibition is curated by Marsya Maharani, MFA.
Art & Storytelling
SPEAK UP!
On view until December 14, 2018
Excited to partake in this Sheridan Creative Campus Galleries campus wide campaign upon invitation by curator, Marsya Maharani. Stay tuned as we get our works ready for Art & Storytelling: Speak Up! There will be exhibitions, workshops and educational events scheduled throughout the Fall 2018 season. “The Art & Storytelling series is a Creative Campus Galleries initiative that foregrounds the voices of artists from historically marginalized communities and the stories they tell through arts based installations and programs. Our inaugural installation *SPEAK UP!* focuses on amplifying women’s voices and experiences through artworks by Mariam Magsi and Tara Krebs, performances by artist Annie Wong and a comedy show organized by Anasimone George, founder and CEO of SHADE. These artworks do not aim to represent all female experiences, but, instead, spark conversations and support women who want to take up space and speak up!”
