Muslim Feminists for the Arts Meeting: 9/13 at 7:30pm

Hello all! The Muslim Feminists for the Arts (MFA) is Mason Gross’ newest organization that intends to use the universal language of visual, performing and literary arts to educate and raise awareness of Islamic feminism. We aim to challenge the authority of misogynistic cultural, religious, political, social and economic systems by providing a voice to Muslim women who face marginalization, discrimination and oppression.

Our first General Body meeting will be
Wednesday, September 13 at 7.30pm in the Douglass Student Center, Meeting Room E and we invite all to attend!

Best,
Zahra Bukhari, Sarah Attalla, Usra Attalla
