#UnderTheHijab is Playfulness

Artwork created by Chithkala Ramesh for #UndertheHijab

Artist statement: "Everyone is unique in their own way. Do not let circumstantial details like age, clothes, gender and status define you or judge people around you. Everyone has a different story, recognise it and celebrate it!"

#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.
