David Cuka, documentary photographer, activist, trans man from Albania

Loneliness and strength. Queer lives are often heavy. We carry the weight of a world that judges, excludes, and calls for violence— and too often, that violence becomes real. Queer people are still being attacked and killed. But there is also another struggle—the one inside: the fight to accept ourselves, often without support, often alone. And still—we exist, we create, we speak. This episode features David Cuka, documentary photographer, activist, and trans man from Albania, and his project 999 Queer Portraits—a growing archive of queer lives, voices, and stories. This is a self-organized project, without financial support. If you can, please support this important initiative: https://gofund.me/9dd3d18a4 999 Queer Portraits — voices, faces, stories.
