CGiii Comment

The antagonism and the provocation are - how can we phrase this...misguided, misjudged, mismanaged...dangerous even!

Respect is a two-way street...!

Good photography though!

The(ir) Blurb...

Maldivian student Abraham Naim is better known as his alter ego: the powerful and sassy drag queen Medulla Oblongata, a notable figure in the Auckland LGBTQ scene. But life was not always this way for Abe. Granted refugee status in New Zealand due to the persecution he faced for being gay in the Maldives – where the official religion is Islam – Medulla Oblongata will explore where Abe is now and the life he left behind.
