Sisters Dialogue’s Anti-Islamophobia Awareness Campaign Launch
Join us for the launch of the Sisters Dialogue’s Anti-Islamophobia Awareness Campaign on Saturday, August 19, 2023 at 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB T5J 0R2.
The Muslim Women Tell It As It Is campaign will be launched with an interactive community playback theater performance in collaboration with Thirdspace Playback Theater and an exhibition of images of diverse Muslim women taken by Faisa Omer. The same images will be advertised on ETS transit buses and LRT stations in Edmonton, for an 8 week period from August 14, 2023. Our approach recognises gendered Islamophobia, and thus centers the experiences and stories of Muslim women and girls.
Sisters Dialogue is a diverse group of Muslim women based in Amiskwacîwâskahikan, Treaty 6 Territory (Edmonton) with a goal to provide culturally safe spaces and supports for racialized Muslim women and girls through an intersectional, collaborative, and women-centered framework. We are a grassroots organization created by Muslim women for Muslim women. We came together in February 2021 in direct response to the spree of attacks on Muslim women, particularly Black Muslim women in our city.
Third Space Playback Theatre Edmonton aims to connect to various diverse communities in Edmonton to create a joyful, critically engaging, and safe space for sharing stories and creating community relationships. www.thirdspaceplayback.com/
This campaign is made possible with grants from the City of Edmonton, the Government of Alberta, and the Innovative Social Pedagogy Project, funded by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
