- Explore MUSLIMA, an online exhibition “featuring the art, voices, and stories of Muslim women around the globe” and the Global Fund for Women’s article on nine of these women.
- Discuss your reaction to these artists and their art.
- Using sociological concepts from this module and earlier modules (eg culture), choose one artist and analyze if and how they are challenging stereotypes and labels of Muslim women (specify and link to the artist you choose).
- How do these artists and representations relate to the concept of “deviance” ? Are they deviant? If so, from which perspective?
