In The Margins: Illuminating Islamic Queerness

In the Margins is an experimental animation which follows queer and transgender Muslims as they investigate the complex relationships between their gender and faith. This ongoing story of vulnerability, growth, and love creates a temporal quilt that illuminates those left in the margins with ornate detail.
