CGiii Comment

Drawing upon Sufi traditions of interpreting Islamic sacred texts where love and equality are celebrated, and with a focus on Buraq, a winged, mythological creature with the ability to travel to heaven, Journey to the CharBagh is a poetic and experimental exploration of queerness from a Muslim perspective.
