“Everyone deserves to have that feeling of ‘Damn, I look good’ about themselves.” BuzzFeed News spoke to the artists behind the selfie project.
In an effort to promote tolerance and challenge popular perceptions, two artists are asking women who wear hijabs to snap a selfie, post it online, and declare: "Damn, I look good."
The artists behind the #DamnILookGood hashtag are Pakistani-American artists Qinza Najm and Saks Afridi.
For the festival they used niqabs donated by local Muslim women who they say were eager to spark a dialogue about their preferred dress.
The pair told BuzzFeed News they wanted to "approach beauty from an angle that pertained to Islamophobia".
