︎About
Leila Abdelrazaq (b. 1992, Chicago) is Palestinian author and artist. Her debut graphic novel, Baddawi (Just World Books 2015) was shortlisted for the 2015 Palestine Book Awards and has been translated into three languages. Since then, she has created a number of other zines, comics, and writings. She has published, exhibited work, and given workshops around the world.
Leila’s creative work primarily explores issues related to diaspora, refugeehood, history, memory, and borders. She earned her MA in Modern Middle Eastern & North African Studies from the University of Michigan in 2020, where her research focused on Palestinian futurist art and and post-national imaginaries. As an abolitionist and an artist, Leila is invested in imagining what Palestinian liberation might look like beyond the violence inherent in statehood.
Leila lives in Detroit with her sweet husband, their young son, and a very fluffy cat.
