| Abstract
|

"In 2014, I visited a private women-only religious gathering (majlis, pl. majālis) organised by an Iraqi Shi'i in her house in London. When I entered, everyone was still very busy preparing the majlis: some were sorting out the seating area by laying down additional cushions on the carpet while others were busy making food and drinks in the kitchen. The smell of black tea, cardamom, and saffron filled the house. The walls were covered in black with numerous Islamic Shi'a embroideries in yellow, green, and red colours hanging throughout the rooms. Various paintings and pictures of the prophet's grandson, Imam Husayn, and other Shi'i Sigures were displayed"--
