2022 Festival Strands

Queer Africa

NeptuneFrost still 5b

A spotlight on the shifting landscape of queerness in Africa and the diaspora.

A programme that includes poetic meditations on queer identity, desire in unsafe communities, timely stories of activism and hope, moving accounts of love, freedom, refuge, acceptance, apprehension, community and family.

We have partnered with Decolonise Fest to present a playlist of African and Black diaspora punk bands. Listen to the mixtape here, or on the film pages list below.
