hijab tutorial
so, i was beginning to investigate the option of doing a month-long (or so) project in which i wear a hijab and document my experience of wearing it in berlin.
this particular video struck me for several reasons: 1. it's an instructional video, so it's helpful in learning how to wear a hijab. 2. it is obviously done by a queer/gender-bending person who's a cis-male but uses the hijab to create a female charecter/drag/appearance/identity and is very open and playful about it. this is already breaks a lot of stereotypes of who are muslims and what they use the hijab for. in this video, the person who made is potentially using the hijab in a way that's similar to what i would like to do - as a character, as drag or as a means of changing their identity.
