We Have Always Been Here: Sharing Queer Muslim Voices

Samra’s work is deeply shaped by their Muslim faith, their experience as a refugee and an immigrant and their queerness. Unpacking the impact of all of those lived experiences informs their perspective and allows them to create work that explores the impact of those experiences on their life. In Samra’s talk, they will explore some of these ideas explored in their best-selling memoir We Have Always Been Here, including sharing stories of Queer Muslims around the world through a visual language and connecting the dots between their familial relationships and their identity.
