Nadine is an Arab world-builder, maker, writer, climate organizer, daughter, sister, amto, and partner residing on the unceded Coast Salish land of the Puyaləpabš (Puyallup) and Dxʷsqʷaliʔabš (Nisqually) peoples near so-called Tacoma.
Often, Nadine is lost in thought; daydreaming; acts of radical liberation, love, & resistance; building gateways to other worlds; lost in reverie; so, Nadine writes.
Nadine’s art-making explores themes of embodiment, diaspora-related grief, ecological transitions, and “what ifs” that are just out of place and time. For them, creativity is sown in the intersection of their spirituality, ethnic background, community traditions, and their relationship with non-human worlds.
When they are not writing or art-making, you can find them squinting at a tree (trying to identify a bird), making friends at a local workshop, organizing for climate justice, or fighting for their life in the mosh pit of a metal show.
