It’s about being happy. Because Muslims are happy too. And we love to meet people from all over the world.

~ Aisha and Aisha at the MAC Eid Festival speaking about  Eid Al-Adha

Muslims of Ottawa is a photographic representation of the diversity and humanity of our community. The project is two-fold: (1) We want to share and document the broad array of cultures, lifestyles, professions and other defining features of Muslims in Ottawa and (2) we want to hear from members of the community in their own words. This project is a partnership between Muslim Link and abcreatives. It takes its inspiration primarily from Humans of New York, but is also influenced by loveOttawa and Somali Sideways.
