Najva Sol, Queer Iranian Artist
Booyah, first page of google search.
People keep telling me they haven't met a queer persian before. I know there's a few of us out there...
My artist talk last night was nuts. I appreciated the questions, don't get me wrong, but I feel so inadequate, so under-informed to be the one telling a room full of people about the feminist context of the Qu'ran as a text or hijab in Turkey vs. Iran vs. Egypt etc etc.
Feels nice though, every time my worlds intersect.
