- Title
"Graffiti as Fearful Commodity": Princess Hijab, the Muslim Woman, and Anti-Consumerism.
- Authors
Esseghaier, Mariam
- Abstract
The article discusses the work of graffiti artist Princess Hijab. It references philosopher Michel de Certeau's theory of strategies and tactics. It is suggested that Princess Hijab's alterations of subway advertisements to include black niqabs, or face coverings worn by some Muslim women, present a critique of consumerism. According to the author, Princess Hijab's art reinforces stereotypical and threatening representations of Muslims in French culture.
