Muslima: Muslim Women’s Art & Voices, a global online exhibition from the Global Fund for Women.

Debuted online in March 2013, Muslima showcases the work from artists, activists, and thought-leaders around the world, representing a broad spectrum of Muslim realities and identities. In this groundbreaking exhibition, you’ll discover a compilation of visual art, poetry, song, short film, fiction, photography, and interviews.

In a world that’s grown accustomed to denying the rich diversity of Muslim women’s thoughts and contributions, of erasing their complex differences and reducing them into an easy stereotype of an oppressed group, this exhibition title highlights the singular form of muslima in order to celebrate the unique passions and accomplishments of each and every Muslim woman who contributed.
