Artist Yara El-Sherbini worked with The Khazi Collective: a group of 7 gay and bisexual men inviting them to reflect on the rich history of these public spaces; for sanctuary, for pleasure and for escapism.

 

The group created the text for a series of locks which they hope will trigger conversations, public or private, around the complexities of identity, which are not binary, not one or the other - and ask what it might mean to find rapture, to feel liberated and find relief in public yet private spaces.

 

The Khazi Collective are: 

• Salim K

• Makinder Chahal

• Christian Neckles

• Elliot Juby

• Paul Wishart

• Dan Auluk

• Bilal Gill

Engaged: Behind Closed Doors by Yara El-Sherbini and the Khazi Collective is part of the AAA. Accessible Art for All programme co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

​

AAA is an initiative led by Explore (Rome) in partnership with ArtReach's Liberty UK Festival, Altonale (Hamburg), Muzeiko (Sofia) and Regional Museum of Skåne (Kristianstad).
