Muslima lifestyle media and fashion are reshaping global media, leisure and recreation, and creating new spaces of identification and belonging in predominantly Western-liberal societies. Typically educated and upwardly mobile, Muslim women cultural producers in British media and fashion are finding strategies for challenging stereotypes and resisting socio-economic exclusion. Bringing into dialogue discourse on gender, Muslimness and creative labour with feminist geopolitics, this talk reveals the ways in which Muslim women are advancing education and career pathways in emergent creative sub-fields, and tackling multiple axes of discrimination and exclusion. Drawing on the notion of ruptural geopolitics, I demonstrate how creative producers and activists are making new images of Muslim women that challenge conservative and Western-liberal thinking on Islam, work, gender and equality.

Dr Saskia Warren is Lecturer and AHRC Leadership Fellow in the Department of Geography, SEED, University of Manchester.
