Salaam everyone,
Another update from me!
So I’m back from my little trip; find out what happened on my website.
Anyhow I came across a group called the “The Mediterranean Visual Arts Club”.
The Mediterranean Visual Arts Club was formed by a group of design enthusiasts from NYPMS and Nur Ikhwan. Led by their founder, Remy Mahzam, the MVAC aims to educate the community about traditional artforms such as Calligraphy, Graffiti, Henna as well as the modern rendition of Calligraffiti.
Members of the MVAC display their artworks ranging photography, graphic design works as well as conduct design workshops for the heartlanders. The MVAC also do web designs, video and motion graphics production.
Check out some of their work, it’s great: themvac.com.
Peace out people!
Cool title from Muslimah Media Watch and they introduce to us a young comedian and Muslimah; Sabrina Jalees.
But her work has not been received without critiques:
Her jokes are not political commentaries. In fact, at times some of her jokes may further strengthen certain stereotypes. For instance, in joking about the Muslim arranged marriage process Sabrina wonders why the processes is appealing to men because they only see the picture of the potential mate – just the eyes. Additionally, when contrasting herself with the traditional Muslim woman she jokes about how she would never be asking to rub her husband’s feet. Although jokes, these comments will further enhance the myth that most Muslim women wear the niqab and that Muslim women are subservient. As I first heard these jokes I couldn’t help but cringe. To an educated audience these may be simply funny, but to an uneducated one they may be ‘educational.’ Although racial and ethnic comedy is often about generalizations, I am unsure how many people realize this and will understand the exaggeration of her jokes.
This video shows a taste of her work:
