About
SWANA. Queer. Immigrant. Punk. YallaPunk has been redefining the narrative since 2016 through programming and documenting artistic contributions and accomplishments including but not limited to music, film, art, poetry, comedy, and much more. YallaPunk is community-centered and will always be. We’re currently working with our first cohort of fellows who are focusing on our community archives, community kitchen, and streaming arts programming.
What is SWANA? It’s the decolonized and more inclusive version of a region often described as “the Middle East and North Africa”. We feel like it better describes our community.
