Gilman Independent Research Islam - Malsi

As Americans, and perhaps as humans, we do a small, inner double take when we see a man with a rough beard and “kufi” in the subway, a woman with a hijab driving a car, or a man reciting the Koran as he takes his 30 minute lunch break from his halal cart. Media has tinted/colored our perception of Islam through dark and light filters conveyed through newspaper and television. Within the three months that I am abroad, I intend to capture Islam using photography as a lens. With select images, I hope to open an exhibit in Babson College’s Glavin Chapel of Multi-Cultural Faith for the community to view...so please comment on any pictures that you think are amazing or needs work. I am open to change! :)
