Today, September 7, is the day that the exhibition Proudly African and Transgender is launching in Berlin, Germany. This comes after launches in Amsterdam, Stockholm, and other European cities.
The exhibition, for those who do not know, is the hard work of Gabrielle Le Roux, an African artist and human rights activist from Cape Town, South Africa, with the support of different dedicated transgender activists from Africa. The various launches have been graced by, among others, Victor Mukasa, Silva Eisses, Chan Mubanga and Julius Kaggwa. All these had their portraits drawn and are part of this project.
The exhibition is a collection of portraits on African transgender activists and human rights defenders. It has a total of more than 10 portraits so far and is an on-going project. The exhibition moves from city to city creating visibility about the transgender movement in Africa and we are very positive that it will be in Africa where it was born, very soon.
Today, the exhibition launches in Berlin, Germany and Victor Mukasa will be speaking, via skype, at its launch this evening.
I will bring you more after the function.
Keep checking.
