Mission Statement
NAFS is a community-led platform dedicated to amplifying and celebrating Queer SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) creatives. Founded in response to systemic exclusion in the art and fashion industries, NAFS provides a space by us, for us, where artists, activists, and cultural producers can express themselves authentically, free from tokenization and exploitation. Through exhibitions, workshops, and cultural programming, NAFS challenges oppression, resists erasure, and fosters intersectional solidarity. Our mission is to build a sustainable, empowering network that uplifts Queer SWANA voices, preserves our heritage, and drives cultural change—ensuring that our stories, struggles, and triumphs are seen and heard on our own terms.
About This Cause
NAFS is a cultural platform and community space dedicated to uplifting and celebrating Queer SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa) creatives. Founded in 2019 by Drew Demetry in response to the lack of representation and systemic exclusion in the art and fashion industries, NAFS serves as a radical space for self-expression, activism, and solidarity. Through exhibitions, workshops, and events, NAFS creates opportunities for artists to showcase their work without exploitation, while fostering conversations on identity, resistance, and cultural heritage. With a strong emphasis on intersectionality, NAFS challenges mainstream narratives and provides a supportive network for Queer SWANA individuals to connect, collaborate, and thrive. NAFS is more than a platform—it’s a movement dedicated to reclaiming space, preserving our histories, and ensuring that our stories are told on our own terms.
