About
Huss
Husseinac@outlook.com
Huss is a Glasgow-based Arab multidisciplinary artist, performer, filmmaker and film programmer. His work explores queerness, memory and exile, weaving together personal and political narratives that meditate on migration, inherited memory, and imagined futures. Working across film, performance, installation and sound, his practice creates spaces for fragmented histories and silenced voices, challenging dominant narratives around Arab and diasporic experiences.
His work has been presented nationally and internationally, including at the Southbank Centre, V&A Dundee and Edinburgh Fringe, as well as in Cairo, Malta, Prague and Kosovo, reaching audiences across more than 60 countries worldwide. His recent short film Until We Return forms part of the 2026 Queer Cinema for Palestine programme, touring to more than 300 screenings in 60 countries.
Alongside his artistic practice, Huss works as Festival Coordinator at Refugee Festival Scotland and Curator at the Scottish Queer International Film Festival (SQIFF). He has previously held programming and curatorial roles with LUX Scotland.
