Description
African queer histories have been erased by colonialism and conservatism, labeling queer identities and expressions as 'unafrican'. Through storytelling, film, archives, and cultural memory, rolemodels from across the continent and diaspora challenge narratives of erasure, restore ancestral identity, and celebrate resilience. From queer royalty in royal households to fictional memory filling archival gaps, this session explores how reclaiming heritage fosters unity through collective dialogue. Together, history can be transformed towards a foundation for cultural pride, collective healing, and admiration for queer diversity from the Mother Continent.
