The idea

AsoOmii Jay led this London public-response experiment, with Amaney Ehtash participating in a staged encounter about religious discrimination. My contribution was behind the camera, supporting the recording of the encounter.

The creative approach

The participants played contrasting roles to prompt responses from passers-by. The project title describes the experiment’s provocative framing, not support for a hijab ban or the participants’ personal views.

My contribution

I filmed discreetly from a distance and monitored the feed, supporting the public-response format while the participants carried out the staged encounter. It demonstrates production thinking shaped around the demands of a specific creative idea.
