Every Friday, our Global Citizen Nari Safavi stops by for Weekend Passport, where he shows us how to travel the world without ever leaving Chicago. Today, he introduces us to “Pomegranates,” an evening of queer Muslim-centered performances, art and film screenings. We’ll hear from the event’s curator, Nabil Vega, and a filmmaker whose work is being shown, Ladan Siad.
