The Truth & Dare Project, developed by Zahra Agjee, provides free photography-based mixed-media workshops for young Muslim women in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). This project aims to create a safe space for young Muslim women to: collaborate with others who have faced similar adversities; learn individually and collectively; and use visual art as a creative outlet to share their stories. During the workshops, participants reflect on their lived experiences, share stories, and actively label their own faces with words that have been placed on them by others. The creation of the portrait is the final stage of facilitated activities and discussions on issues of judgment, perception, preconceived notions, our identities as not only women, but Muslim women, and the othering of our marginalized community.
