The Four Hijabs
An Animated Short + Panel Discussion
Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 4:00PM

The Historic Chicago Temple Building
77 W Washington St
Lower Level
Chicago, IL 60602


Join us for the premiere of The Four Hijabs, an animated short film that explores the phenomenon of the hijab through four theoretical lenses and their corresponding Koranic verses:

the visual hijab (the actual headscarf or veil)
the spatial hijab (physical limitations and sex segregation)
the ethical hijab (restrictions on women's rights)
the spiritual hijab (denial of intellectual inquiry)

The Four Hijabs is an entertaining and accessible way to engage with the complex ideas inherent to the hijab.

The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion, featuring co-authors Dr. Manal Hamzeh and Jamil Khoury, and a panel of respondents.
