It’s Not About the Burqa – Mariam Khan in conversation
Channel: Greenbelt Festival
Date: 2020-10-12

Fed up of hearing about what Muslim women were like from people who were neither Muslim nor female, Mariam Khan edited a book of essays, It’s Not About The Burqa, to bring together the voices of a variety of Muslim women – all angry at the lazy stereotyping – to tell their stories. She is joined by one of the contributors, Sufiya Ahmed.

Mariam Khan is a writer and activist on issues of feminism and Islam. Sufiya is a children's author and writer. They will be in conversation with Chicago-based choreographer Amirah Sackett.
