The chador-nigab-burqah is a must in any exhibit on the Muslim world. At least Moroccan artists display it with humour in their work. Nadia Bensallam wears a sexy nigab which does not cover her legs and walks in the streets of Marrakech while her friend films the passerby's reaction. In "Super Oum" Fatima Mazmouz displays a bikini-clad pregnant woman whose face is covered by a nigab.
