The queer muslim photo project “Just me and Allah” of Samra Habib will be exhibited on Thursday 24 November from 6 pm to the end of the party at Kollektivet (Linköping, Sweden). This project documents the experiences of queer Muslims around the world. Her project entitled Just me and Allah documents the experiences of queer Muslims around the world. Her project has garnered praise by media outlets around the world including the BBC, the Guardian, PBS, Vanity Fair Italia, Washington Post, Art magazine, i-D and Vice. She has exhibited her work in Brooklyn, Toronto, Munich, Berlin. Brussels, Linköping (EXTRACT) and North Carolina.

Thanks to the plateform that EXTRACT is, the project includes now Assaad, a queer Muslim of Linköping, in the exhibition.

“Archiving against queer nostalgia”
Keynote of Jin Haritaworn (Toronto)

Moreover, I’ll moderate the keynote of Jin Haritaworn on “Archiving against queer nostalgia”.

This lecture takes issue with the archiving fever that is occurring in wider (whiter) queer communities, which follows the logics of murderous inclusion. In the wake of the debates about homonationalism, homonormativity and gay imperialism, the question “How or does queer remain insurgent?” at times resembles a search for innocent genealogies. The AIDS crisis, the Nazi past and Stonewall become figures of a queer nostalgia (Haritaworn 2015) which, rather than running from the murderous past, actively seeks it out as a site of queer regeneration. This lecture takes issue with the archiving fever that is occurring in wider (whiter) queer communities, which follows the logics of murderous inclusion.

Jin Haritaworn, Assistant Professor in Gender, Race and Environment, York University, Canada. Jin Haritaworn grew up in Germany and is now living in Canada. They are a trans of colour queer scholar whose research focuses on queer and trans politics in relation to neoliberalism, racism and colonialism. Pronoun : they/them.
