Join us for a virtual conversation with Marwan Kaabour, a London-based and Beirut-born graphic designer and editor of The Queer Arab Glossary. This illustrated volume captures the nuances and diversity of the language(s) of the queer Arab community. Full of wit and pathos, Kaabour's work is a powerful corrective to existing narratives surrounding LGBTQ+ Arabs. With essays from writers, visual artists, and academics that range in tone from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, The Queer Arab Glossary delves into the power of slang to build community when conventional language falls short.

Marwan Kaabour is an independent graphic designer, visual artist, and writer based in London. His work has been commissioned by Art Basel, Christie's, Bansky's, Zaha Hadid Foundation, Fenty, V&A Museum, Edge of Arabia, and more. In 2019, he launched Takweer, a platform dedicated to exploring queer narratives in Arab history and popular culture, and in 2020 founded his own studio
