We are so pleased to finally release our conversation with artist, performer, and curator Zulfikar Ali Bhutto for our Art, Gender, and Sexuality segment. We talk about Bhutto’s journey around the world to his current home in San Francisco, his queer, Muslim, futuristic, revolutionary, zombie drag performance alter-ego Faluda Islam, Bhutto’s collaborations, and his work in Queer Muslim Futurisms.

I hope you are all making through the isolation (or in some cases, lack of isolation) okay. This week I am very excited to speak with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Jr. for our segment on Art, Gender, and Sexuality. Bhutto’s last name may sound familiar to some of you, and yes, he is named for his grandfather, the People’s Party former Prime Minister of Pakistan in the 1970s. We will talk about Bhutto’s alter ego Faluda Islam, Queer Muslim Futurism, and I am pretty sure that we will at least touch on the current crises and how they factor into a queer Muslim artistic practice.
