Swiss motsd'images enthuses (Fr) about a beautiful outdoor photo exhibition of African women in Seville, Spain; and updateslive gives a thorough account of “The Seen and the Hidden, (Dis)covering the Veil,” an exhibition held in New York City featuring 15 artists, 13 of them women.  All are muslims, and explore the intersection of Islam, the West, and identity.
