  • The Hijabi Monologues: “Hijabi Monologues was borne of a joint desire to take the Muslim woman out of the public and make her private, and to decentralize the hijab as the focus of Western popular discourse about Muslim women… Many in the Western media are fascinated with hijab the notion of veiling. Despite this fascination, however, there has been very little accurate and comprehensive knowledge about the diverse population of hijabi women in America. Hijabi Monologues (“HM”) is a play that aims to capture the diverse range of hijabi-in-America experiences, and it has rapidly gained a following through word-of-mouth in underground Muslim American art circles, similar to its namesake, The Vagina Monologues. Unlike The Vagina Monologues, which brought private subject matter into public discourse, Hijabi Monologues is actually taking the hijab from the public news and media discourse back into women’s personal lives. Even further, the play seeks to re-capture the voices and identities of Muslim American women for themselves. Regarded as an experience that will challenge both outsider and insider understandings of a distinctly American Muslim community, HM takes the viewer on an emotional roller coaster with issues rarely discussed in public space…” HM on Facebook Source:
