The Queer Arabs Posts

Episode 43 in English: Gaysians Unite!

We had a lovely and cathartic conversation with Maya of The Gaysian Project! The Gaysian Project has a podcast (which we were featured on this week, by the way – check it out on iTunes or Spotify!) and several other wonderful things. Follow this project on Facebook, Twitter @gaysianproject, and Instagram @thegaysianproject.

We talked about the need for inclusion of all Asian identities when Asia is brought up; also, Maya discussed the intersection of her South Asian background with her queerness.. We also mentioned the need for more Asian representation in the media, briefly fangirled over “Crazy Rich Asians”, and more. Thank you for listening!

Episode 42: Jadd Tank, Dancer/Choreographer!

During this episode, we talked to an incredible artist named Jadd Tank (he also was a guest on the Arabic side of the podcast recently)!  Nadia Khayrallah guest co-hosted this episode, which was super fun.  We talked about so many things: virtual reality, a communal pet camel, the Beirut dance scene, the pros and cons of New York, and so much more.
