Over the weekend, alQaws launched a new edition of “Our Queer Life”, an interactive space on our Instagram story which encourages queer Palestinians to share, reflect on, and engage with different issues, concerns, and questions that affect us in our day-to-day lives. This time we explore our relationship to our body as queer people.

We shared many different articles, photos, videos, and podcasts over two days. Through the different materials as well as interactive questions, we reflected on social norms regarding weight, femininity/masculinity, and skin color, among others. We examined how these norms affect us and our friendships, relationships, and mental health.

You can view the space and the materials we shared in our Instagram Highlights.
