Atypical Dikkatein: A Conversation PodcastQueering Art & AdvocacyContent warning: Please note that this episode contains mentions of queerphobia.
Art is queer, and queer is art. We are back with another episode where I am in an insightful conversation with Tannaz Mahreen,
a rapper and composer, as well as an advocate of intersectionality and inclusivity. We explore the topics of art, queerness, their intersections and how this intersectionality allows us to advocate for our rights.
This episode is presented in collaboration with queerbeat, our media partner.
