About Us
What does it mean to be young, female and Muslim in Melbourne? It can mean listening to Lupe Fiasco on your iPod, studying hard, attending extra-curricular Arabic classes, playing soccer, attending an Islamic camp, discussing fashion and art, and more.
Crooked Rib is a group of fourteen young Muslim women who took part in the Crooked Rib project from November 2007 to November 2008, exploring what it meant to them to be young, female and Muslim in Melbourne.
The project included an exhibition and street art collaboration with UK-based street artist Mohammed Ali (Aerosol Arabic) in Spark Lane, as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
Crooked Rib was produced by the City of Melbourne's Community Cultural Development Program in partnership with the Muslim Women's Council Victoria.
To contact the artists about current and future projects contact Reeham Hakem at squeex09@yahoo.com

Alhamdulillah! most important duty of a muslim!
Salaam sisters,
Came across your blog rather by sheer coincidence (after browsing avant card to work for an art project myself and came across your current e-card: 'feminist' sticker one). Interesting work and initiative you've got running here, care to elaborate a bit more on this particular piece?
'5 times a day' focuses on some of the specific actions that are identified in Salat(prayer).
It was inspired by the old man that pulled out his mat on a train station platform to perform his Maghrib prayer. Despite looking out of place, he showed he was steadfast in his belief. It was a pleasant reminder.
