Our success is in sharing space or Allah made me queer is a three-act short film about identifying as both Muslim and queer, about spirituality, identity, negotiating the intimate and the shared.
Between religious chants and coming out anecdotes, Wazina and Terna perform and take their private life to the public, bringing a conflicted identity met with resistance from their very own families, onto the stage.
There is also a 3-channel video installation of the project, which was shown online as part of “Lost, not to be found”, a month-long program for Untitled curatorial duo.
