Abstract
Abstract In this introduction to a collection of scholarly and artistic tributes honoring the life and work of decolonial bisexual philosopher, kweer and queer theologian, Sufi mystic, artist, and ethically non-monogamous kink practitioner, Shaykh Dr. Ibrahim Abdurrahman Farajajé (b. 1952; d. 2016). Interspersed among the tributes are several of Farajajé’s previously published and unpublished essays and speeches. The introduction is intended to be a poetic historiography that places Farajajé’s praxis in a genealogy of thought and challenges the invisibilization of Farajajé, an epistemic violence resulting from biphobia, erotophobia, monosexism and the matrix of domination—settler-colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism, cisheteropatriarchy.
