MOST LIKELY TO BE: Drawing, coding or serving looks. Buki uses her artwork to spark discussions around the female body. Her work explores the political and sexualised nature of women’s bodies, whilst encouraging women to reclaim their bodies and who they are as a person. You can find her at the Tate exchange on the 23rd of February 2018 running a workshop focused on reclaiming the narratives of British Muslim women. #saymashallahplease #muslimahcrushmonday

Those interested can email Buki at bukithompson@gmail.com, with a picture of themselves and a short bio and a small statement in less than 50 words, about what it means to be a Muslim woman.
