"The exhibition, as with all their work, deals with notions of performance, representation, and the tension between self and other...Halaal Art extends the artists' preoccupation with the role of the individual in society, in particular the space that Muslim youth negotiate in a secular environment. Inspired by their experiences abroad, the images depict the brothers in various carefully staged locations and poses around Havana, Hamburg and Cape Town."1
