BR1 Street Art in Turin, Italy Represents Muslim Women

In Turin Italy, the art of BR1 has been popping up all over the city streets. BR1’s project focuses on the representation of Muslim women and their social condition. The artist says, “I made a deep research and I discovered that I am the only artist in the street art movement that deals entirely with this topic. Isn’t it strange? In general, the woman is the best source of inspiration for artists, why Muslim women wouldn’t be the same?” The Muslim women are represented in daily life situations, and each is drawn and colored freehand. They are taken from actual images from the media and put out on the street, creating a higher visibility like the image of the Western woman.
