Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil.

3. I really like Hannah’s work, I love the way her work is really expressive and effective she uses the niqab a lot in her work (women with there face covered).

4. The experience of being a white, blue-eyed girl wearing traditional Muslim dress in Britain, and the different ways in which people responded to it, was the spark for many of her works.
"I was regularly interrogated and asked why I was wearing the hijab," she says. When she explained that it was due to her faith, many would go on to ask her why she was a Muslim, as they were puzzled by her non-Middle Eastern appearance.
"I find that people often project stereotypes upon you when you're wearing a scarf," she explains.
"Certain items of clothing, such as hijab and abaya, have become invested with such potent politicised symbolism - the wearer's personal identity becomes secondary to her outward appearance."
Hannah habibi hopkin, believes the media often uses images of women wearing Muslim dress to illustrate stories about oppression, or as a backdrop for reports on terrorism.
These are some of the stereotypes that she is keen to challenge through the use of familiar, accessible forms of art, such as pop art and comic-like graphics.

5. Nasreen Raja
Nasreen raja is a graduate from Chelsea College of Art and design. She studied textiles design and specializes in printed textiles.  Her work is inspired by her childhood memories from Pakistan as well as growing up as a British Muslim, in England.  In her work she challenges notions of faith, identity and individuality by rejuvenating the traditional face covering as well creating mixed media pieces that delve into the female form and identity.

6. The inspiration for these pieces were taken from her own old family photographs and personal childhood memories from Pakistan. The niqaab is seen as a very secretive garment, as it hides the person and the garments they wear underneath. Our clothes show part of our personality and identity, with traditional clothing showing which country we originally come from. A woman in a black niqaab or burka automatically gets the identity of a ‘Muslim woman’ as she does not give anything else away. The pattern and colours on the niqaab show parts of the woman’s personality as colour and pattern.
