(un)veiled: Muslim Women Talk About Hijab

(UN)VEILED introduces the audience to ten Muslim women from various backgrounds who now live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Their discussion about hijab, the headscarf, revolves around a lecture on the same topic that was banned last minute but delivered anyway. In a time when Islam and especially Muslim women are represented as monolithic and beset by backwardness, the women in (UN)VEILED show the diverse, lively, argumentative debates in Muslim societies about the meanings of modernity, emancipation, and feminism.
