Action Against Hate
Diversity & Religion Exhibition
Diversity & Religion Exhibition
Action Against Hate: Diversity & Religion Exhibition aims to counter a concerning rise in hate speech by providing a platform for European artists and film makers who speak out against injustice and promote positive narratives about their lived experiences.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Get The Trolls Out!, a campaign led by Media Diversity Institute and the Diversity & Inclusion Research Community at the University of Westminster in the UK.
The artwork used on the main exibitition visual is criated by Asma Istwani. The artist has layered different headscarves and hairstyles to showcase the diversity and beauty of head coverings in this collage. The intention is to remind viewers that head coverings are not exclusive to Muslim women and how people choose to style themselves is important to identity and sense of self. The artist is interested in adding to the larger narrative surrounding beauty standards, identity and heritage.
