This special edition issue of Cold Cuts is a public archive that compiles personal photographs and bilingual oral histories from ten trans* women that recount their lives through the civil war in Lebanon as well as the years that followed.
Compiled by Mohamad Abdouni and co-edited by Joy Stacey and Rayan Abdel Khalek, It pays tribute to trans* women and femme men who have been largely erased from Beirut’s history, drawing visibility to an extraordinary community that has long been pushed to the shadows.
The women tell the story of a city that is now lost, of war, survival, love, balls, parties, families, beaches, abuse, and jail. The project shows an unprecedented history of queer communities in Beirut, and aims at affording our elders overdue respect, visibility, love and kindness.
This issue was made possible with support from the Arab Image Foundation, Mophradat, Studio Safar, The Norwegian Embassy, Helem and Station.
