This insightful exhibition presented by The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) and the Museum for African Art features five amazing female Muslim artists who despict their lives in Islam through their works which range from video to photography and much more. Works from Fariba Alam (Bangladesh), Zoulikha Bouabdellah (Algeria), Mahwish Chisty (Pakistan), Safaa Erruas (Morocco) and Nsenga Knight of Brooklyn all shed light on common misconceptions and notions on gender and the Islamic faith.
