A holistic awareness campaign utilizing modalities that include Playback Theatre, an educational workshop, a media campaign on transit & a photo exhibition, to foster understanding, engage diverse audiences and create safe spaces for reflection, connections and healing.
Over the past two years, the Sisters Dialogue team have been working on "Muslim Women Tell it As it Is", a storytelling campaign and workshop series. As part of this work, Sisters Dialogue hosted a series of creative sessions in collaboration with local artists and mental health practitioners to better understand the experiences of Muslim women in the aftermath of hate-based attacks. The information collected culminated with a photoshoot featuring Muslim women from all walks of life. These photos were unveiled city-wide on ETS buses, billboards, LRT stations and in a photo exhibition at City Hall and University of Alberta.

Are you tired of how Muslim women are portrayed? Do you want your voice to be heard?
We invited Muslim women and girls to join our Focus Group discussions where they had the opportunity to share their lived experience and helped to shape the direction of our media campaign.
Participants received a $50 gift card.
We invited Muslim women to unravel parts of their identity, what it means to take up space, and what impacts their safety and well-being, by sharing stories through Playback Theatre.
MUSLIM WOMEN TELL IT AS IT IS – TAKING UP SPACE AND SHARING WISDOM is about providing a strong voice for Muslim women by sharing stories through Playback Theater to unravel parts of their identity and what it means to take up space unapologetically.

As we learn about our diverse experiences through the power and impact of theatre, we trust that a relational process can offer insights on how our communities can work towards decolonization, how to best centre self-determination and sovereignty, and improve solidarity among Muslims, racialized individuals and groups.
