The Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization, along with Burning Passions Theatre, invites Muslim women in the National Capital Region to take part in a number of community consultations on June 20 (English) and June 23 (French and English) as part of the development of a new play on gendered Islamophobia. The issues identified in these consultations, facilitated by Dr. Monia Mazigh and Dr. Leila Benhadjoudja, will help inform the content of the English-language play to be performed later this year by community members.

Producing a play about and featuring Muslim women confronting discrimination is a powerful way of putting a human face on a crisis that too often gets reduced to statistics.

Each discussion will last 2 hours. Snacks and refreshments will be served.

The location will be emailed to you shortly after you register. Please do not publicize it (we do not wish to have too many people showing up as seating is limited!)

To register to attend, please visit https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/muslim-women-sharing-stories-on-islamophobia-join-a-community-discussion-tickets-1990387402300

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.

The Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization, en collaboration avec la compagnie de théâtre Burning Passions, invite les femmes musulmanes de la région de la capitale nationale à participer à des consultations communautaires le 20 juin (en anglais) et le 23 juin (en français et en anglais). Ces consultations s’inscrivent dans le cadre de l’élaboration d’une nouvelle pièce de théâtre sur l’islamophobie genrée. Les enjeux soulevés lors de ces consultations, animées par Dr. Monia Mazigh et Dr. Leila Benhadjoudja, contribueront à l’élaboration du contenu de la pièce en anglais, qui sera jouée plus t**d cette année par des membres de la communauté.

Mettre en scène une pièce de théâtre sur des femmes musulmanes confrontées à la discrimination est une manière percutante de donner un visage humain à une crise trop souvent réduite à des statistiques.

Chaque discussion durera deux heures. Des collations et des rafraîchissements seront servis.

L’adresse vous sera communiquée par courriel sous peu. Merci de ne pas diffuser l'information (le nombre de places étant limité, nous souhaitons éviter une trop grande affluence !).
