Making a comeback from last year’s Brussels Ass Book Fair, the Lebanese London-based artist, designer and writer Marwan Kaabour introduces us to the sonic world of Takweer ––an expansive project through which Kaabour explores queer narratives in Arab history and popular culture.

For this Easter Sunday Kanal Outsiders programme, Kaabour opens his set with a track by his father, Ahmad Kaabour, a prominent leftist musician in the region. Lakoum A’oud speaks about the death of Jesus Christ, the principles he lived by, and the notion of return to the land ––all extremely poignant in the midst of the genocide of the people of Palestine, the land where Jesus was born.
