Sami Shahin
Sami Shahin, a multi-disciplinary queer artist of Palestinian and Syrian heritage, is deeply rooted in illustration, digital art, and animation. Passionate about bolstering representation within the SWANA queer artist community, he intricately weaves his background into his art, drawing from the rich tapestry of Levantine Arab history with a pronounced focus on the liberation movements of the Palestinian people, interwoven with his gay identity.
