Kalam Live - Unstraight Stories from Egypt with Dawood and Nayuk

In this feature episode, recorded live at the Swedish night club Trädgården, Edgar sits with Dawood, a Swedish-Lebanese photographer who recently exhibited his project Unstraight Stories from Egypt. This is a collection of photographs and stream of consciousness anecdotes depicting queer life in the Arab World's most populous country.

Special guest feature is Nayuk, a non-binary queer activist from Turkey, who is involved in Unstraight Stories from Turkey.

Both projects are made in partnership with the Swedish Unstraight Museum, a mobile museum showcasing queer life around the world.
