Drawing upon Sufi traditions of interpreting Islamic sacred texts where love and equality are celebrated, Journey to the Charbagh is a poetic and experimental exploration of queerness from a Muslim perspective. The narrative focuses on the figure of the Buraq, a winged mythological creature with the ability to travel to heaven, encountering terrestrial and celestial beings, moving toward a spiritual and queer awakening.
