COMMON VISIONS BERLIN: ADIRA (لِمَن أَتَيْنَ قَبْلَنَا / Treat Me Like Your Mother)

The film „لِمَن أَتَيْنَ قَبْلَنَا (Treat Me Like Your Mother)“ by Mohamad Abdouni offers insight into the intimate experiences of four trans women from Lebanon. It is a powerful act of queer archiving that celebrates friendship, survival, chosen family and the women who shaped Beirut's queer history. The screening is curated by ADIRA, a queer Arab*/SWANA party and cultural event series founded in 2023 by Hassandra and xanax_attax. ADIRA seeks to connect cities and queer Arab* communities and counters orientalist narratives through drag, club nights and community events.
