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.
