Launched in 2017, AZEEMA's first issue was a collection of stories exploring the display and disguise of the body in regard to visual identity, resistance, and sexuality in Middle Eastern and North African culture. Femininity and identity are at the core of the magazine, with an emphasis on the possibility of multiple cultural identities and moving away from a binary model of identity.
