Based on years of close collaboration and dialogue with African visual art practitioners who claim belonging in the LGBTQ+ community, this exhibition features nearly 60 artworks that share complex stories of openly claiming identities, histories, and place. The artists practice across the entirety of the African continent and its global diaspora, using their work to speak their truths.
