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. www.flickr.com/br1art 21 May 2010 / 2 Responses bob i Dig cool street art like this.
