abil El Jaouhari is a graduate student at the University of Missour-Columbia. His work has been recognized at Pride Fest and other competitions. Leading a double life, El Jaouhari is an openly gay man in Columbia, Mo., and as a closeted homosexual around his family in Lebanon. When asked to do this interview about his artwork for [sh]out Magazine, the voice of LGBTQA on Mizzou’s campus, the artist was concerned whether our publication was far reaching enough to out him to his family in Lebanon. This necessity of leading a dual life and the struggles it has caused greatly influence Nabil’s artwork. By: Nichole Ballard
