AJSADOUNA
A project generating an online magazine, this magazine offers a new approach to body-related issues that intersects with visual and literary art, a tool to freely express and explain the experiences of marginalized individuals in Lebanon and their feelings towards their bodies as they exist within the borders of this country as a too to reclaim their narratives. This tool will not only be an art piece but also a profound qualitative data source that shows in-depth details of lived bodily experiences. Naturally, this magazine will contain many stories of self. These stories will show the intersectionality of body-related experiences and create a clear story of us, the bodies walking on the streets, visiting medical care centers, experimenting sexually, discovering bodies, and identities. This magazine is also a “research without questions”, a new way of knowledge production that extends beyond the scientific method where the researcher is not asking the question. Rather, a whole community will be asking and answering their own questions collectively, using this intersecting story of us to build a community that sees beyond individualised experience toward a collective. And this community will pave the way for body-related transformative solutions.
