“Using public art as a platform,
we hope to improve the visibility of Muslim identities in urban spaces.
Public art adds meaning to our cities and character to our neighbourhoods.
A project we’re working on transforms traffic signal boxes.
We applied to #OutsideTheBox2022
Our project “Geometric City” is inspired by Zellige tiles,
a type of mosaic tilework in which each tile piece is individually hand-chiselled into a colourful mosaic.
These tiles can be found on the columns,
doors and walls of Mosque,
Madrasas and other built forms.
