Liad Hussein Kantorowicz is a performer and activist from Israel-Palestine. She is one of the founders of the first Middle-Eastern queer community and the first outed spokes person for sex workers' rights in Israel. She studied Gender and Middle East History at the Tel Aviv University and worked as a writer, focusing on minority issues and grassroots struggles before transitioning to performance. Her performances focus on de-exotifying and de-mystifying the positions of those considered sexual or political deviants. She performed extensively in Israel-Palestine and in Berlin, where she now lives.
