Sina Beizavi in Brazil 7 months have passed since queer artist Sina Beizavinejad escaped from Iran, where the regime made him live in constant fear for his life due to his sexuality, artistic expression and his renunciation of islam. His situation was aggravated by USA sanctions against Iranian citizens, which further limited his expression, even through web3 systems. His migration to Brazil was enabled by Casa NUA's embrace of the 6529 network, and the network's support of Casa NUA in return. In the photograph, Sina (@[AWD]) rests from his work week at Casa NUA on a Sunday afternoon, wearing only his Havaianas in brazilian colors – his welcome gift from Hugo Faz – while nonchalantly holding his Iranian passport, now finally free to live fully in his own skin.
