Anida Yoeu Ali: The Story of The Red Chador

On Saturday, June 1, Tacoma-based international artist Anida Yoeu Ali will bring "The Red Chador" to the streets of Seattle alongside six additional fully-veiled performers in various colors of the rainbow. Together, this colorful brigade of sequined chadoras will walk and wander across the city, allowing the public to bear witness to the glory, pride, and joy of hijabi women.
In advance of this dazzling one-day-only performance, watch this video to educate yourself on the birth, life, death, and eventual rebirth of "The Red Chador." Then, visit Ali's solo exhibition "Hybrid Skin, Mythical Presence" at the Seattle Asian Art Museum to see all seven rainbow chadoras on view.

Joining Ali for this performance are Selma Al-Aswad, Sabreen Akhter, Nisreen El-Saadoun, Hiba Jameel, Soraya Sultan Meer, and Yireidi Valencia-Martinez. The rainbow brigade’s exact route and performance schedule will be released one week before June 1.
