note:

Eid Al-Fitr, the holy day for Muslims around the world signifying and celebrating the completion of Ramadan. The video above captures the gathering and prayer at ICCNY mosque in East Harlem. A neighborhood with a dense population of people from all backgrounds. This particular mosque is widely occupied by Muslims from West Africa. Countries such as Ghana, Mali, and Senegal.

The purpose of this video is to point attention to the attire and range of headdresses. Islam is a religion for people of all cultures and as time goes on, the ever-evolving of fashion continues on.

Shot on Super 8mm on Eid 2021 when I went to prayer by myself with nothing but a background and camera in hand. Had amazing conversations this day.
