Another edition in our series of stories about Queer migration and the unexpected journeys we follow in search of ourselves, and community.
A Queer Journey can often take us far from the places we once called home, but it's in the nature of LGBTQIA+ existence that we seek out and build new family wherever we go.
Ashtar Alahmad is a passionate Motion Designer, originally from Homs, Syria, but currently living in Spain and pursuing higher education at Idep Barcelona. Disability and feminist advocacy play a main role in her work. As a war survivor, refugee, and activist, she uses art to make a change and tell the unheard stories of underprivileged people. She works in a wide range of creative disciplines including motion design, animation, and illustration. She has an extremely positive attitude towards life with a great ambition to make a change. Ashtar speaks on topics such as LGBTQ+ discrimination, disability, body positivity, self-empowerment, culture change, activism and trauma.
