A thought-provoking workshop on queer Arab identity in film and art with HUSS.

In this session, we will explore the intersection of queerness and Arab identity through a curated selection of short films created by talented queer Arab artists. 

During the workshop, we will delve into the complex themes of identity and censorship within the realm of film. Through lively discussions and brainstorming sessions, we'll examine the diverse approaches employed by these artists to navigate and challenge societal norms. We'll explore how these filmmakers navigate the delicate balance between self-expression, cultural authenticity, and the realities of censorship.

This workshop aims to create an inclusive space where participants can share their perspectives and engage in meaningful dialogue. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, an art enthusiast, or simply curious about the queer Arab experience, this workshop offers an opportunity to gain insights, broaden your understanding, and celebrate the power of storytelling.

About HUSS

HUSS is an Arab performance + Visual artist based in Glasgow. Tackling personal and cultural themes, his discipline involves experimenting and combining elements such as installation, sculpture, visuals and audio to culminate in immersive performance pieces. Huss uses his work as a Queer person of colour to raise issues facing the Arab world that lack acknowledgment in western society, especially queer laws and how much it has always censored and endangered artists like himself. He is always striving to produce work that both immerses and captivates audiences in unexpected ways to tackle important issues that need spoken about more.
