NAFS provides a vital platform for Queer SWANA creatives to express themselves authentically, addressing the lack of representation in both the art world and LGBTQ+ spaces. Your donation helps amplify these voices and ensures that their stories are seen and heard.

Many Queer SWANA individuals face systemic barriers in creative industries and society at large. NAFS builds spaces where they can connect, create, and thrive without fear of discrimination or tokenization. Donations help fund exhibitions, workshops, and events that foster this essential sense of belonging.

NAFS is not just about art—it’s about activism. Through cultural programming, we challenge anti-Arab / SWAMA, racism, homophobia, and the exploitation of SWANA artists in the art world. Supporting NAFS means standing in solidarity with a movement that resists oppression and fights for justice.

Unlike mainstream institutions that often exclude or tokenize SWANA artists, NAFS is created by us, for us. Every donation goes directly into community-led projects that uplift artists, activists, and cultural producers who are often overlooked or underfunded.

Through exhibitions, film screenings, and creative collaborations, NAFS highlights the richness of SWANA culture, history, and storytelling—especially in times of crisis, like the ongoing war in Palestine. Your support helps keep these narratives alive and ensures they reach wider audiences.

With consistent funding, NAFS can continue to provide opportunities such as artist residencies, mentorship programs, and paid commissions. Donations directly contribute to ensuring that emerging Queer SWANA artists have the resources they need to develop and showcase their work.
