Mizna 21.1 – Queer + Trans Voices

Mizna 21.1 – Queer + Trans Voices is a groundbreaking issue that delves into themes of bodily autonomy, embodiment, and self-determination through a queer, transgender, SWANA (Southwest Asian and North African), and Muslim lens. Curated by Zeyn Joukhadar, this edition offers a platform for marginalized voices within the SWANA diaspora, presenting a rich tapestry of poetry, prose, and visual art that challenges and redefines narratives of identity and existence.

Contributors include Dina Abdulhadi, Rasha Abdulhadi, Kamee Abrahamian, Danielle Badra, Ahimsa Timoteo Bodhrán, Michael Chang, Tarik Dobbs, Hazem Fahmy, Carissa Halston, Ghinwa Jawhari, Marlin M. Jenkins, Joe Kadi, Mena Kamel, Nour Kamel, Nihal Mubarak, Aiya Sakr, Omar Sakr, Trish Salah, Mejdulene B. Shomali, and Fargo Tbakhi. The issue also features visual art by Cumaea Halim.

This journal not only bears witness to the rich history of queer and trans SWANA, Arab, and Muslim communities but also imagines futures of love, beauty, and magic. It is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of self-expression.
