TRANS/NATIONAL

TRANS/NATIONAL is a podcast that exclusively uplifts the political activism and artistic interventions of religiously marginalized queer, transgender and gender-diverse South Asians both within the homelands and in the Western diaspora. Focusing primarily on gender-variant activists, changemakers, and healers, the podcast will spotlight how these visionary individuals and collectives are confronting authoritarian power, transforming their everyday relationships, learning from failure, and envisioning liberatory futures. The podcast aims to release monthly episodes with a focus on topics that sit at the intersections of Islamophobia, annihilation of caste and cis Brahminical patriarchy, intergenerational trauma (and wisdom), disability, imperialism, anti-police, anti-occupation, anti-militarism, and queer/transphobia. Hosted by Bangladeshi Muslim transmasculine writer and activist, Mikail Rahman Khan, the series will be an incubator for imaginative and overlooked narratives, as well as critical interventions that need to be made in this heightened moment of South Asia’s political trajectory.

The podcast episodes are officially hosted on mikailrahmankhan.club/transnational
