Myriam Boulos casts an unflinching eye on the revolution that began in Lebanon in 2019 with protests against government corruption and austerity, culminating with the aftermath of the devastating Beirut port explosion of August 2020. She portrays her friends and family with startling energy and intimacy, in states of pleasure and protest. Boulos renders the body in public space as a powerful motif, both visceral and vulnerable in the face of state neglect and violence. Of her approach to photography, Boulos states: "It's more of a need than a choice. I obsess about things and I don't know how to deal with these obsessions in any other way but photography". -- publisher's statement.

Toen journaliste Mona Eltahawy in 2012 een artikel publiceerde onder de titel ‘Waarom haten ze ons?’ brak er een storm van reacties los. Het thema was de vrouwenhaat binnen de islam. Hoofddoek en maagdenvlies bouwt hierop verder en werd opgedragen aan alle meisjes in het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika, met de nadrukkelijke oproep om zichzelf te bevrijden. Niemand durft de giftige mix van cultuur en religie die in deze regio’s heerst te doorbreken, uit angst voor heiligschennis. Eltahawy werd naar eigen zeggen tot het feminisme “getraumatiseerd”. Islamgeleerden lijken uitermate gepreoccupeerd te zijn met de vrouwelijke seksualiteit. De vrouw is in hun ogen de belichaming van de zonde en moet in toom worden gehouden. “Alles wat de vrouw aan haar uiterlijk doet, wordt opgevat als een aanmoediging om haar lastig te vallen”, schrijft ze. De auteur is erg kritisch en spreekt uit eigen ervaring: over de strenge kledingvoorschriften (het dragen van een hoofddoek of niqaab), over het toenemende seksuele en huiselijke geweld in de Arabische Wereld en hoe de vrouw vaak zelf de schuld krijgt, over de fixatie van conservatieve islamgeleerden op de vrouwelijke maagdelijkheid, kindhuwelijken, genitale verminking, discriminatie op het vlak van sportbeoefening en het verbod op autorijden in Saoedi-Arabië.

When was the last time you heard a Muslim woman speak for herself without a filter? It's Not About the Burqa started life when Mariam Khan read about the conversation in which David Cameron linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the 'traditional submissiveness' of Muslim women. Mariam felt pretty sure she didn't know a single Muslim woman who would describe herself that way. Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were demonstrably neither Muslim nor female? Taking one of the most politicized and misused words associated with Muslim women and Islamophobia, It's Not About the Burqa has something to say: twenty Muslim women speaking up for themselves. Here are essays about the hijab and wavering faith, about love and divorce, about queer identity, about sex, about the twin threats of a disapproving community and a racist country, and about how Islam and feminism go hand in hand. Funny, warm, sometimes sad, and often angry, each of these essays is a passionate declaration, and each essay is calling time on the oppression, the lazy stereotyping, the misogyny and the Islamophobia. It's Not About the Burqa doesn't claim to speak for a faith or a group of people, because it's time the world realized that Muslim women are not a monolith. It's time the world listened to them.
