Liquid Homelands conjures the ineffable nature of queerness, of diaspora and lineage, and the idea of a ‘home:’ acknowledging that these are deeply potent and affective experiences. it’s a play on the idea of representation politics being about ‘visibility’ and ‘embodiment’ - and proposes that, like liquid, queer bodies of culture have always been here, ever-present and needed 

Beiti Beitak by Kal Jazeera - "⁠What is it that you call home? For a queer Palestinian in diaspora the answer can be complicated. From Beiti to Beitak, Chicago to Naarm, I try to find out. Featuring interviews with Nourah of Salon Kawakib and Mirna of Aywa Syndicate." Kal Jazeera is a queer Palestinian creative currently based in naarm by way of potawatomi land Chicago. They orbit many fields across performance but the heart of their work is grounded in community. Their sense of joy, depth and love was distilled in all our conversation and something you will feel throughout their work.

Adaptation by Tori Hobbs - "⁠How do you find your place in a world that was never built to accommodate you? An intimate memoir, unravelling the shifts in a body and the world around them in a world before and during the global pandemic." Tori Hobbs is a disabled healthcare worker, writer and co-founder of Disability Justice Network. a grassroots organisation run for and by multiply marginalised disabled people in so called australia. Alongside their daily work as a nurse they have been a tireless advocate for disability justice in this colony guided by a framework on relentless love and defiance.
