Zusammenfassung:Presents an intimate portrait of how Muslim women are transforming media, culture and the arts in contemporary BritainSets out an innovative agenda for the importance of faith and religion within the cultural and creative industries and the lives of workersReveals how creative work in fashion, digital media and visual arts fosters spaces of identity, belonging and exclusionUncovers real-life examples of experiences of Islamophobia, sexism and racism that Muslim women face at workReflects on how Muslim faith and gender intersect and are transformed by ethnicity, ‘race’ and racialisation, class and geography in working livesDraws on 46 interviews including with Qaisra Shahraz, MBE, fiction author and festival producer; Deeyah Khan, award-winning film and magazine producer; and Zarah Hussain, visual artist and winner of Lumen Prize 2017 People’s Choice Award‘[Sister’s Hour is] a platform to show the diversity, to show the awesomeness, to show the variety,
just to show the beauty of Muslim women.’ – Nadia Hussain, presenter on British Muslim TV’s Sister’s Hour‘I didn't even think about going in to a career of creativity, it didn't even make sense to me. I was like "no, of course not". Dreamland. No way. … That's how it was throughout all of high school. I was like "of course, that would be ridiculous to be an artist. What?!"’ – ‘Mona’, illustrator‘Some families are dealing with the experience of growing up in the diaspora, which tends to make them look for the financial security of their children as a priority.
So they might be fine with a daughter studying engineering or dentistry, but if she expressed a wish to go to art college instead then they’d discourage that strongly.’ – Deeyah Khan, film and magazine producer, two times Emmy Award Winner, Two times Peabody Award Winner, and BAFTA Award Winner.‘There's certain things I did at art college which weren't right, Islamically weren't right, like life drawing for example. You know, drawing nude men, that wasn't right really. But at that time, it was like, ‘well I'm doing it, I'm at art college, fine’. Whereas in hindsight now, I shouldn't really have done that.’ – ‘Fatimah’, Fine and Textile artist‘I think it's difficult for people of colour, I think it's difficult for women probably compared for men, and I think it's difficult for working class people. It is an elite world and some of it is about who your contacts are, who your connections are, who you know.
