BROWN QUEERS

Single-channel HD film, 25 mins, sound and compositions Natasha Lall

​Brown Queers developed out of a need to create a social document of current modes of identity through multiple personas and styles. The protagonists of Brown Queers explore such modes through their conscious decision to be gender fluid and non-binary. For the past eight months, I have been following Krishna Istha, Katy Jalili,  Natasha Lall and Umber Ghauri, all individuals who identify as queer and brown. Beyond this, complexities related to nationality, race, gender and sexuality play out through their bodies and in the different contexts in which they live and work: the film thus acts as a record of these individuals in contemporary Britain. Brown Queers poses questions that come out of the layered states of being that embody fluidity, “brownness” and “queerness”.
