Maxim Ibadov: The Queer Russian Activist

Maxim Ibadov (he/they/fab) is a Brooklyn- born, Moscow-raised, Jewish-American who's not afraid of living their life authentically. They're an event-organizer, podcast host/ producer, theater director, activist, and arts educator at Park Avenue Armory. The Brooklyn-born testifies to their experience of growing up as a queer person in Russia, and what moving to America meant for them. More importantly, Maxim speaks out against the war taking place in Ukraine. As a member of a WE Together, a collective aimed to unite and celebrate the Caucasus, Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA) LGBTQIA+ community, Maxim works to create spaces where every queer person from the post-Soviet region gets to find their tribe because no one deserves to go it (???) alone.
