Muslims of Ottawa Photography Project: We wanted to create a simple portal into the lives of ordinary Muslims in Ottawa – to capture them as they pursue their passions and in the spaces that best define them. Very much in the spirit of Humans of New York, the aim of the Muslims of Ottawa photography project is to inspire others to recognize and appreciate Muslims for the way they live their lives. Too often Muslims are swept up in politicized portrayals in the media and the daily aspects of life – taking care of children, balancing the concerns of family in Canada and abroad or professional achievements – the daily realities that reveal our humanity become less visible to the Canadian public. So, in honour of Islamic Awareness Month and in partnership with the Muslim Link well be posting a few portraits of Ottawa Muslims throughout this month to portray the diversity and humanity of our community. #MuslimsofOttawa #MoO #abcreatives tinyurl/kmlgbxx
