Please check ticket info for this event below, incl. information about access.

Marwan Kaabour sets the stage with a conversation about The Queer Arab Glossary! This will be followed by a short break and then a cabaret night from Q’iwa, with SWANA performers speaking to belonging, language and all things queer!
Our performers:
Marwan Kaabour is a graphic designer, artist and writer, and the founder of Takweer – an online archive of queer narratives in Arab history and popular culture. His interdisciplinary practice builds pathways between communication and publication design, curation, pedagogy and political activism. Alongside his independent projects, Kaabour works with non-profit institutions, companies and individuals in the art and culture sector, such as the V&A, Art Basel, National Gallery, Serpentine Galleries, Hayward Gallery and Banksy. He designed the much-celebrated Rihanna book, a Time magazine Best Photo Book of 2019. Kaabour was born in Beirut and currently lives and works in London.
