Our Queer future is a past tense is an installation performance in a form of a promenade, based on a post migration perspective on Queerness in relation to Arab* Identity(s). As a term, Queerness does not exist in Arabic. However, it does and did exist as a practice, one that goes back further than the global queerness; that Western hegemony imposed on the globe. The language of queerness becomes hegemonic through erasing identities that existed before it and subsuming/substituting vast and complex communities, histories, and languages across the globe with a monolithic, generalizing Western model of understanding and approaching sexual and gender diversity. On this evening, Ahmad Baba will take the audience through a journey between different temporal and spatial dimensions of "queer" existence.
