Artista transforma Barbies em mulheres muçulmanas ilustres

Representatividade importa, sim – e ao mesmo tempo em que a Mattel providenciou Barbies com corpos mais realísticos no ano passado, a boneca ainda está longe de poder receber o título de “inclusiva”.

O trabalho de pessoas como a nigeriana Haneefah Adam, no entanto, vem para mudar esta situação. Em seu perfil no Instagram, o @hijarbie, a africana transforma Barbies em mulheres muçulmanas icônicas – seja na moda, no esporte ou na sociedade como um todo.

Não é incrível?
