Mvzlamic: A Comic Figuring Out What it Means to be Young and Muslim
We love finding fun stuff on Instagram and our latest digi-crush is Mvzlamic, a sort-of comic that takes a sideways look at what it’s like to be young and Muslim in the UK.
The illustrations broach a wide range of issues and situations, whether it’s light stuff, like posing the perfect hijab selfie or flawlessly lining up facial hair, or more serious subjects, like facing ignorance or confronting racism.
Check out some of our favourite uploads below:
We’re shouting out Mvzlamic because of its ability to artfully tread the line between daily fluff and deeper issues, a trick that allows it to dispel – and send up – a lot of misconceptions about Muslim life in the UK.
Don’t forget to give it a follow on Instagram.
