Carolyn Stubbin’s series seeks to present another perspective on the narrow view of Muslim society represented by the mainstream media.
Category: Exhibitions
Historical views of a backward, chaotic, dangerous and exotic ‘other’ continue to be perpetuated in western society. Prayer – an Act of Peace (part 1) shows 10 people holding their prayer rugs. The peaceful imagery of prayer evokes a strong contradiction to the stereotype of Muslim’s depicted in the media. In Hands Off – Out Now (part 2) Carolyn seeks to question and go beyond these stereotypes by allowing the viewer to participate in the world of Salem El-Merebi, a Muslim, feminist and political activist.
