Join us for the book launch of Melbourne-based artist Ayman Kaake’s latest photobook: 99 Names.
Homosexuality is still a crime in at least 74 countries, 13 of which impose death by public stoning as a penalty. 99 Names is an unapologetic celebration of queer voices, in the face of this. Named in reference to the names of Allah or God revealed to humanity in the Qu’ran, Kaake’s ongoing series does not seek approvals and is a testament to the manipulations and atrocities committed by believers loudly quoting their holy books in the name of religion. Born in Lebanon, Kaake delves into the complex themes of diasporic melancholy, the agony of exile throughout his practice.
