Buisir is a member of the Muslim community who grew up in Dundrum in Dublin.
Through photography and her film-making, she tries to highlight racism, the War on Terror, and discrimination that asylum seekers face.

“A person looks at you and then, they’ll give you some stereotype joke. And you’ll say, it’s not a joke it’s something serious that you shouldn’t be saying.
