#UndertheHijab is a story

Artwork created by Kitty Ritig for #UndertheHijab

A poem by the artist:
#underthehijab is
a story
you know,
you may know,
you don't know,
you don't know yet...
A story,
Thousands stories
each different
not the same
With time and eyes
and some more time
to perceive
Then you will see
these stories
not the same
never the same...
And with eyes
and some more eyes
you will see
a story
similar to yours
different from yours...

But not the opposite
Rarely the opposite

#UnderTheHijab is an artists’ collective that aims to break the stereotypes related to those who wear a Hijab. The series was inspired by the story of a young Syrian girl, Sarah, who was called a terrorist for wearing a hijab. Moved and provoked by Sarah’s story the founder of Project FUEL, Deepak Ramola, curated a series of artworks using the hashtag #UnderTheHijab.
