Queering the Airwaves: Meem Mustami'een

In Meem Mustami’een, Ash (@ash.andabout) and Ranin (@meen.hadol) listen to and discuss the album Ghanni an el Ta’reef (Singing Sexuality), a rare collection of queer Arabic songs focused on themes of community, belonging, and self-discovery. The album was produced by alQaws (@alqaws_org) for Gender and Sexual Diversity in Palestinian Society, a movement Ranin has been a part of since the project’s first release in 2013. Since then, the project has expanded to feature additional queer Palestinian singers, lyricists, and producers over its second and third phase. It was also recently featured in the Palestine Queer Movement Archive Project.
