  Few links about Muslim women in art. I can’t promise bikini shots in my links, but they’re interesting nonetheless.

  Sooraya Qadir: Niqabi X-woman
  

  Pakistani director Mehreen Jabar’s film Ramchand Pakistani is the only Pakistani movie featured in NY’s Tribeca Film Festival. (I’m excited to see Pakistani movies moving past depictions of rotund women gyrating their hips - not that there’s anything wrong with that…)

  Clinton’s library in Arkansas is hosting an art show containing artwork by women from the Muslim world. It is called, what else, Breaking the Veil.

  Thanks for the movie update, Muse. I’m excited to see Ramchand Pakistani as well. I’m beginning to feel like hip gyrations are the primary export industry of South Asia.

  Ramchand looked depressing so I skipped it.
