I will always be looking for you – A Queer Anthology on Arab Art

‘I Will Always Be Looking For You – A Queer Anthology on Arab Art’ is a radical bilingual collection that documents, disrupts, and reimagines queer presence in the Arab world.
Commissioned and published by Haven for Artists, the anthology brings together:
● 31 Arab visual artists
● 24 writers from across the Arabic-speaking region and diaspora
● Genres ranging from poetry, fiction, essays, to experimental writing
● Full-color reproductions of visual artworks
● Arabic and English texts side by side
Curated through years of cross-border collaboration with over 100 contributors, researchers, community outreach, and artistic care. This is the first anthology of its kind, building space for queer Arab art not as a category, but as a method, resistance, and shared memory. Every contribution in the book has been uniquely designed using a dedicated coral Pantone. This visual thread connects the anthology as a whole while allowing each page to stand in its own expression. This deliberate design choice ties together the emotional and political heartbeat of the book while preserving the singularity of each voice and artwork. Translated by Rayyan Abdel Khalek – the book is dual language English/arabic.
