“With their exploration and celebration of the “universal divine feminine energy” on ‘Alibi’, Sevdaliza and Pabllo Vittar have made herstory.

Sevdaliza is an Iranian queer woman, who feels close to the drag and trans communities. She is not transgender herself, at least not in the sense of having been assigned male at birth.
