by: Mazen Khaled My Queer Samsara is a critical look at a constructed social identity that hides underneath it a gnawing want; a need to “go back home” and be fully accepted into the bosom of our very first loves, the ones who were supposed to take care of us, our families.
Samsara is a Sanskrit word used in Buddhist texts to denote an endless cycle of in-between states; namely birth, life, death and rebirth. Those states flash out fleeting illusions of happiness on their shiny attractive surfaces but, in essence, are nothing but forms of suffering. However, integral to the idea of Samsara is that it is breakable. Breaking the cycle happens simply though realization, seeing who we truly are at a given moment in time has the power to release us…
