“We do not know whether Princess Hijab is a woman or a Muslim, just that her guerrilla art involves ‘hijab-ising’ adverts in Paris. Her stencils started to spring up in Paris in 2006, around the time that discussions about whether wearing the hijab was compatible with French secularism were first taking place. She uses spray paint and a black marker to cover women up in ads – although they may be wearing mini-chadors and high heels and carrying guns – and pastes her ‘Hijab Ads’ everywhere she goes. We don’t know much else, which is just as it should be in the guerrilla art world.”
