Presented alongside The Unbreakable Rope - An Exploration of Sexuality in Islam will be a panel discussion elaborating modes of creative activism against prejudice toward British Muslims.

This discussion will look at tackling the presumption that British Muslims are sexually deviant or transgressive.

The event will draw on the experience of writers, social workers, politicians and human rights campaigners who protest the stigma and limits to free expression placed on LGBT Muslims in the UK.

Responding to a reported 0% tolerance of homosexuality by British Muslims, the panel will elevate suppressed minority voices within the minority, humanising the debate and applying lived examples of resistance to the problem of discrimination. In light of recent legislation and advocacy for gay marriage equality in the UK, Taking Creative Action Against Prejudice will investigate the polarity of thinking around LGBT Muslim identity and stimulate inclusive conversation around a timely if contentious subject matter.

The Unbreakable Rope – An Exploration of Sexuality in Islam is an exhibiton presented by Quilliam Foundation that will be at Free Word Centre from 10 March-8 June 2016.

This event is part of Free Word's series, Unravelling Europe. Against a backdrop of increasing fragmentation fuelled by anxiety and fear, the conditions and values that underpin our open, democratic societies are under threat.

Putting artists at the heart of the discussion, alongside thinkers and speakers from other disciplines, Unravelling Europe sets out to ask: why is this so, what are the consequences and how might we act to counter them?
