MWWA Anti Racism Exhibition 2018

The Muslim Women’s Welfare of Australia, MWWA  has the pleasure to invite you to attend the upcoming exhibition titled Racism Stops with me. The formal exhibition has been put in place to showcase the talents and contributions that young Muslim members of the community, as well as broader Muslim individuals, have brought to Australia to make it the land of diversity that it is.

The campaign highlights that young Muslim individuals should disregard the racism that may be directed at them in the public and stand up to say that Racism has no place in Australia. To do this, the MWWA has invited members of the community to participate in a competition to use art as a form of self-expression to comment on what makes them a proud Muslim Australian. Through this, the event aims to highlight that each individual is unique in their race, and their cultural traditions. The artworks and expressive pieces will recognise the value of the youth in our communities and encourage them to be proud of who they are.

The event will be made up of a formal portrayal of key aspects of the campaign Racism Stops with me, followed by a walk-through expo showcasing the artworks that were submitted by the youth. The expo will also be made up of stalls with Islamic wear, items for pilgrims to use in upcoming Hajj trips, cultural props and décor items as well as an informative display of the historical figures that form part of the Islamic success story.
