Question

Rohina Malik，a Chicago—based playwright，actress and solo performance artist，will take the stage in her one-woman play unveiledly(不带面纱地)on May 29 at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh．

Born and raised in London，England，but of South Asian heritage，Malik is a fearless woman of talent．Her play，Unveiled，exposes racism，hate，crime，love，Islam(伊斯兰教)，culture，language and life in one“amazing show，”said Jennifer Considine，professor of communication at UW Oshkosh．

Unveiled had its premiere in May 2009，and it received immediate attention．“I write plays because it’s my way of solving problems，”Malik said．“Art，in its many forms，has the power to solve world problems．That’s why，I believe we should do everything we can to nurture and protect it．”

Considine said she once saw Malik perform in Los Angeles and was deeply impressed．“You laugh and two minutes later you’re crying．She’s very talented，”Considine said．

She said Malik wants people to understand the experience of wearing the veil．“She wrote it following 9—11，as I remember her describing it—she was watching some of the media reports of women wearing the veil，and I think her experiences，and people she knows，were much more complex than what was being described in the media．”she said．

Considine said that the dislike of or prejudice against Islams，is very common in society，and it’s driven by a lack of understanding．“Her play will open students’eyes to seeing the wearing of the veil in a different way—and to maybe understanding that experience a bit differently，”Considine said．

She hopes to expose students to a variety of cultural experiences．“The goal of the play is to educate students about the wide variety of religious and non—religious traditions on our campus and in our community，”Considine said．
