In conversation with artists from the Middle East and North-Africa as well as its diasporas, the series examines intersecting inequalities and body politics expressed, represented and transgressed in both visual and performance art. Against the backdrop of war and conflict, the rise of authoritarian regimes, displacement and diaspora mobilization, Islamophobia, ongoing orientalist depictions, and challenges linked to the Covid 19 pandemic, this series explores the ways in which artists are informed by and/or contribute to anti-racist, transnational feminist and queer praxis.

The series will span a two year period - 2022 through 2024 - and will both feature artists online and host in-person events.

Exhibitions & performances will complement the series in locations around NYC and Providence.
