PatnershipsMAIA x Maslaha
About the Series.
Finding a space for joy and sanctuary in the midst of a global pandemic may not always be the easiest thing.
In an attempt to reclaim some headspace, we partnered with Maslaha to commission four midlands-based artists to share their skills and experiences with a series of IGLive sessions, Zoom workshops and Video tutorials.

Maslaha seeks to change and challenge the conditions that create inequalities for Muslim communities in areas such as education, gender, criminal justice, health, negative media coverage and a continued climate of Islamophobia. They understand deeply how this context can leave individuals and communities suffering and unable to realise their full potential.
The work of Maslaha is practical and rooted in local communities but with a reach that is national and international, and with a view to influencing policy and the public imagination.
'Muslim Girls Fence' is a project collaboration between Maslaha and British Fencing which aims to facilitate spaces at a grassroot level for Muslim girls and women to challenge assumptions and narratives relating to their gender, racial, religious and other identities through both physical and creative methods.
