How Does Design Challenge Islamophobia?
Brief
Islamophobia has been a rising issue on a global spectrum leading to the hate on Muslims to increase even though it is one of the most widely growing religion around the world.
As a Muslim female myself, I often find that people intertwine culture and religion together, which is not a bad thing to do as long as you know where religion stands.
I compared how brands have tackled this issue of Islamophobia yet why there is still a lot anti-muslim in politics.
Audience
Young muslim designers who should not be afraid to express their views on global issues to do with religion
Young non-Muslim designers around the world who do not know much about Islamophobia and drawing their attention on the aspects of that are undermined not just by the media but by people of power (e.g. airport stop and searches, the ‘re-education’ camps in China. France’s hijab ban).
The Media who should learn to not scapegoat every Muslim as ‘dangerous’ ‘rebellious’ or a ‘terrorist’ as well as focus on the good acts of Islamic leaders, Muslim: designers, authors and Entrepreneurs.
