Echoes of Queer Resilience in Palestine.

In the vibrant streets of Haifa, Palestine, circa 1920-1930, Adeline Abiad defied societal norms, captured in a mesmerizing photograph by an anonymous lens. This poignant image reflects a historic expression of identity in the face of the eventual upheaval that gripped Haifa in 1948.

Adeline's story remains elusive, confined to this singular frame—a testament to the resilience of queer Palestinians throughout history. In the spirit of 'Art for Humanity,' this artwork seeks to amplify Adeline's narrative, ensuring that the voices of queer individuals endure and resonate.

Queer Palestinians persist. Their lives are invaluable. This creation rejects divisive narratives, standing with the cause of Palestine and advocating for an end to the ongoing struggle.

This image, sourced from the Arab Image Foundation archive, serves as a visual bridge to Adeline's story and the broader LGBTQIAP+ community's resilience in Palestine.
