'The Strength of the Hijab

[mangochutney]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,but there is also a general concept of beauty.

Sculptors in the Arabic world have made beautiful statues of Saladin in Syria,Saddam in Iraq,Ibn Khaldoun in Tunisia. Arabs can sculpt beautiful masterpieces about Arabic or Islamic history.

And here you have a British hippie making that ugly thing to honor Muslim women.

It reminds me of this:

It was chosen by the Muslim community it represents, it was chosen by the women .
Why is a man dictating how a woman should be represented ?

British Art is unlike others its modern upto date refreshing and thought provoking you may call it an eyesore but it depicts modern Britain

These are the surroundings of the statue , just to show how it fits into the working class innercity it represents

The whole thing is ugly (may be except the women and kids statues). Deserves to be in Nigeria or South Africa, if has to be somewhere. Not in U.K.

A new sculpture of a woman wearing a Hijab, believed to be the first of its kind in the world, will be unveiled in Birmingham next month.
'The Strength of the Hijab' was designed by renowned artist Luke Perry to celebrate women who wear the headscarf.
Commissioned by the Legacy West Midlands charity, it is believed to be the first sculpture in the world of a woman wearing the head covering, worn by many Muslim women.
The steel sculpture is five metres tall, weighs around a tonne and is due to be installed in Smethwick in October.

Mr Perry said: “The Strength of the Hijab is a piece which represents women who wear hijabs of the Islamic faith, and it’s really there because it’s such an underrepresented part of our community, but such an important one.
"They need visibility, it’s so important, so working with the community to come up with the designs has been really exciting because we didn’t know what it was going to look like until now.“
"The location of where it’s going is Smethwick, [where] there’s a humongous part of the community that is from the Islamic faith.“
"They wear the hijab as part of their community, and it is really underrepresented.“
Mr Perry was helped to design the 'Black British History is British History' sculpture, which was installed in Winson Green in May.

That piece was defaced shortly after it was installed, but while Mr Perry acknowledged the new sculpture could be “controversial”, he said it was important to represent everyone who lives in the UK.

He said: “There’s a possibility that this piece could be controversial for many different reasons.

"I don’t feel like any of them are valid, but people do, there are a lot of people who object to the differences that we have in our communities, and would like them to be more divided."

It’s what puts the great in Great Britain.

Its a cool statue, but I am personally not a fan of post modernist sculptures and art. Its too cubic and takes away the human.

It’s British culture , it’s a statue for Britain .

The U.K. is stylish capital of the world
The clothes the youngsters wear will be worn by middle aged men around the world as fashion in 20 years time , the haircuts the slang the music the art the culture are at least a decade ahead of the rest of the world bar NYC .
Luckily your not here to see what kids are wearing nowadays as fashion but the art is nothing new it’s always been like this from the 60s onwards

Style is in the eye of the beholder & by heck we have it in abundance here .

Those statues of the Indonesian chap the Arabian ones and the black lady posted would be too boring run of the mill to fit in U.K. anymore .

Maybe in the last century but not nowadays as they don’t depict the British .

I heard they are making Muhammad statue

Here comes the uneducated street shitting slum dweller who thinks a rampant rabbit dildo is a statue .

Go away you no life hopeless motherfucker

It is cool .
It also does what it has set out to do ,
A discussion on its style .
Exactly what modern contemporary art is .

My issue is that we often let outsiders (Westerners) define who we are. The late Professor Edward Said talked about Orientalism and how we allow them to define the other(s).

They made the women face as unhappy and afraid as if it is a symbol of oppression like what some if not majority of Westerners population like to think. Some people in the West with deep knowledge of course understand that Hijab is show of love from women to their God

That does not explain why women are harassed or killed for not wearing Hijab.
Islamists tried that in Bosnia and got kicked out,

Being present, is not a reason for a statue.

There is a reason why the interest for statues of Oswald Mosley, Lord Haw-Haw and Adolf Hitler is l8mit3d in the UK, even if there is a small number of Nazis in the UK.

The Hijab may be a positive thing for some Muslims, but it is also a symbol of oppression and as such an affront to many women.

Dude, no where in Quran and Hadith stated that women must/should be punished if they dont wear Hijab. I have stated many times in here that private Shariah Law like praying, wearing hijab, not drinking alcohol cannot be enforced by state.

Dude, in Indonesia we dont enforce women to wear Hijab, but according to this Canadian women, 95 % Jakartan women wear Hijab

What kind of oppression ? Indonesia is the largest Muslim nation so far and see what the women is doing here, are they oppressed ? Seems happy
