Lagrange Points presents \u201cAIWA!<\/a>\u201d a one month long program dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ in the Arab world and diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AIWA! Is a tribute to Sarah Hegazi and the LGBTQIA+ in diaspora. Sarah Hegazi was an Egyptian LGBTQIA+ activist. She was arrested, imprisoned and tortured in Egypt for three months after flying a rainbow flag at a Mashrou’ Leila concert in 2017 in Cairo. Hegazi lived with PTSD resulting from the prison torture she had experienced in Egypt. She was granted asylum in Canada, living there until her suicide in 2020 at the age of 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the program, the purpose is to pay tribute to Sarah Hegazi, who we lost in exile, due to the systematic institutional and social oppression that individuals who do not conform to heteronormative identities face. Come and celebrate Sarah\u2019s life and inspirational journey, preserve her legacy, and persevere in the struggle for social justice. Although Sarah left the physical world, AIWA! Is aimed at keeping her spirit alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lagrange Points<\/a> is co-organising the program in collaboration with Samandal<\/a> and XENO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aiwa! Is the product of a process where researchers, artists and curators, transform a narrative into an artistic expression, bringing it to the public space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program<\/a> includes exhibitions<\/a>, debates, books<\/a> presentations and signings, tributes<\/a>, movies<\/a>, performances and workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n from 03 – to 13 JUNE – Habibi – Art Expo on LGBTQIA+ Muslims – Sami Ammar<\/p>\n\n\n\n The stories and artworks in this expo reveal a struggle between two worlds: the world of parents and that of LGBT\u2019s. Trapped between hope and fear, expectations and dreams, speaking and silence, denial and acceptance, family and sexuality, God and themselves, LGBT Muslims are mostly looking for love; for someone they can call habibi \u2013 my sweetheart. Sami Ammar is a young and upcoming Moroccan-Belgian artist and wishes to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12 JUNE – 5PM – Habibi – Booktalk on LGBTQ Muslims – Wim Peumans & Omar Nahas<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this booktalk writers Wim Peumans & Omar Nahas will discuss two of Wim\u2019s books, the award-winning ‘Queer Muslims in Europe’ (Bloomsbury) & ‘Habibi’ (Uitgeverij Vrijdag). In English!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 13 JUNE – 5 to 7 PM – Sarah Hegazi A Tribute<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the 13th, we mark a year without Sarah, and we would like to dedicate the entire day to her memory. A \u2018reading\u2019 of her unforgettable and inspiring writing will be presented. Videos and documentaries showcasing her activism and legacy will be screened. Last but not least, in celebration of her life, LP will play a selected playlist of her favorite songs throughout the day. On this day, we hope to share how much she meant and still means for those who knew her or of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 18 JUNE – 6PM – Sara Baraka Performance and \u00a0\u201cAMINE\u201d –\u00a0Movie\u00a0Screening<\/p>\n\n\n\n from 18 to 30 June – Expo – Samandal Collective<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting from the 18th of June four members from Beirut based Samandal Collective: Barrack Rima, Nour Hifaoui, Lena Merhej and Joseph Ka\u00cf will showcase and present some of their exceptional comic art at Lagrange Points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 19 JUNE\u00a0–\u00a05PM\u00a0–\u00a0Barrack\u00a0Rima & Nour\u00a0Hifaoui\u00a0– Book\u00a0presentations<\/p>\n\n\n\n 25 June\u00a0–\u00a05PM\u00a0– Queer\u00a0Cinema<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe End of Time\u201d by Akram\u00a0Zaatari – \u201cTomorrow\u00a0everything\u00a0will\u00a0be\u00a0alright\u201d – \u201cRed\u00a0Chewing\u00a0Gum\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 26 June\u00a0–\u00a05PM\u00a0–\u00a0Workshop and Book presentation by Lena\u00a0Merhej\u00a0& Joseph Kai<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Poster credit : \u00a9 Barrack Rima<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lagrange Points presents \u201cAIWA!\u201d a one month long program dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":41343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,41,43,25,26,28,46,123],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-41342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artist","category-books","category-cinema","category-culture","category-exhibition","category-festival","category-heritage","category-opinion"],"yoast_head":"\n
