Burqa Fittings By Marie Rim To Tour 50 States... And More Arts News

Ever wanted to try on a burqa? Now is your chance. According to the LA Times, artist Marie Rim is inviting passersby to experience the controversial clothing for themselves with "Burka Fittings Across America," a roving pop-up shop now touring the US. In the past few months, Rim, a 34-year-old gay artist from Philadelphia, has inspired 150 Americans in 21 states to confront their reflection while wearing the garment -- which is, from the photos, actually a niqab with a burqa (which covers the body but reveals the eyes).
