“Hear my call, recognize me, I have always been here.”
A short poem has been set to visuals in a powerful YouTube video produced by the International Gay And Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC).
The poem, "I" by J.D. Kamran, brings to life the struggle of LGBT people towards recognition, visibility, and acceptance in the Iranian community.
Striking visuals accompany a reading of the poem.
I have always been here
In the black and white of stories
I have always been here
Here, in the empty frame of picturesI have always been here
In the hidden closet of poetry
In the broken crystal of moments
