Video Title:
Mona Haydar "Hijabi" | Contemporary Muslim Fashions
Description:
To commemorate the first Muslim Women’s Day, an online campaign launched by the website MuslimGirl to celebrate the achievements of Muslim women, Syrian American poet and rapper Mona Haydar shared her first music video, “Hijabi.” The song’s verses address many of the probing questions often posed to women who cover, contributing to an ongoing dialogue about Muslim women’s dress. By appearing in the video eight months pregnant, Haydar also challenged conventional notions of motherhood. This video is part of the exhibition "Contemporary Muslim Fashions" on view Feb., 2020 through August, 2020 at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
