Zee Y

Zee Y is a West Yorkshire based poet turned comedian who uses their own experience as a queer Muslim to find light in places that may otherwise be dark. Their performance work explores the building blocks of identity while their workshops encourage others to share joy through self-expression using art therapy techniques.

 They form one half of the queer arts collective Out + Loud that platforms queer voices through performance. Zee has worked with Kirklees Pride, York Anti-Racist Collective, The Brontë Festival of Womens’ Writing and many other grassroots organisations around the region and beyond.

They are passionate about representing minoritised communities and often weave this into their projects.
