Is it possible to find solace in the power of chosen family, underground art collectives, and ultimately revolution?Set in Beirut, Lebanon, a city once known to be a vibrant cultural center of the region. It's 30 years after the end of the civil war, and a few months before the disastrous explosion of August 2020. Samar, a young queer comic book artist, wanders between anguished dreams, childhood memories, romantic experiences, and Beirut’s alternative communities. This abstractly autobiographical story tells of the author's anxiety over living in a complex city of changing colors and moods. Three powerful themes: art, sex, and political uprising, are interwoven in a compelling narrative and an otherworldly color palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Kai is a queer artist from Beirut, Lebanon.
