Al Hayya is a bilingual, biannual platform and publisher founded in Beirut in 2020. It produces literary, visual, and sonic content that confronts the politics of representation, challenges normative frameworks of feminism, and insists on the visibility of anti-racist, transnational, and queer thought.
Through a growing network of writers, artists, musicians, translators, and editors, with a focus on voices from the Arab region, Al Hayya publishes in print, online, and in audio. Its content engages a wide spectrum of feminist perspectives, exploring their lived, political, and poetic dimensions.
