Muslims in North America is a multimedia archive of photographs, interviews, and various artifacts depicting trans and non-binary Muslims across North America, exposing negative assumptions and asserting the realities of our intersectional identities. Through this project, space making and portraiture overlap when I share space with collaborators and co-create with them. By reconsidering the right to look, the paradoxes of representation, access, and privacy collide as I pursue the right to exist, be seen, and do so with dignity.
