What’s it like to be queer and Muslim?

Photographer Samra Habib has written about attending a queer-friendly mosque in Toronto here, and about the need to listen to queer Muslims in the wake of the Orlando attack here. Her photography project, Just Me and Allah, documents the lives of LGBT people in North America and Europe.

Since the earliest days of her artistic career, Michigan artist Anne Mondro has been captivated by human anatomy, creating her own interpretations of internal organs and body forms through crocheted sculptures. Working with thin steel and copper wire, she spends hundreds of hours on a single artwork, manifesting her own interpretations of hearts, lungs, limbs, and even entire bodies. “Crocheting wire enables me to create interwoven forms that are structurally strong, yet visually and physically light,” Mondro shares. “The forms allude to ethereal silhouettes associated with shadows, ghosts or decay.”
