Claiming the Muslim Frame: Disrupting Traditional Power Structures

In this provocative panel from The Muslim House at Sundance 2026, industry leaders and advocates discuss the concept of "narrative authority" and the fight to reclaim the frame for Muslim communities. This session delves into the politics of representation, exploring the difference between being "seen" and having the power to define one’s own image in front of and behind the lens.
