about this book

Kal Rituals assembles practices of queer world-building in extended pandemic time, amidst deep ecological and social transformations, offering an expression of anti-colonial resistance and joy.

Tracing and disrupting cross-colonial legacies through bodies of water lapping at the shorelines of the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic, the publication features contributions by Fatimah Asghar, Fiza Khatri, Najia Sabahat Khan, Sadia Khatri, Sandev Handy, Sharika Navamani, Shahana Rajani, Zahra Malkani, Tamara Fernando, Taara Rani, The Many Headed Hydra, Umair Khan, Venuri Perera, and Vicky Shahjahan.

An ode to transterritorial alliances that disrupt binary contours of time and being, Kal Rituals proposes queer and trans feminist ecologies, embodiments, and mythmaking.
