I don’t know how to let another person touch me anymore / I’m okay with my body when I’m the only one looking at it / I don’t know enough about healing / I had to step back for a while to get to know myself again but now I don’t know how to step forward / I worry it’s safer to sleep alone / how can I possibly love someone right when I was raised with the worst examples?

“I want to love more than death can harm. And I want to tell you this often: That despite being so human and so terrified, here, standing on this unfinished staircase to nowhere and everywhere, surrounded by the cold and starless night — we can live. And we will.”

Ramadan begins this week. For those fasting, we wish you all a healthy and blessed Ramadan!

“Fasting”, shown here, is part of Baseera Khan’s “Five Pillars” series in which the artist illustrates the core beliefs of Islam from their decolonial, feminist perspective. This abstract screenprint alluding to the moon and the body is on view with two other prints representing the Pillars of “Zakat” (or Almsgiving) and “Pilgramage,” respectively.

See these screenprints in person in “Baseera Khan: I Am an Archive,” on view through July 10: https://bit.ly/khanbkm
