The Queer Motherland Art Gallery is a black-tie cultural fundraiser designed to center the work of Queer African Artists across the diaspora while raising funds for the Queer Motherland Summit (expected early 2027). The Art-Gallery will occur over three days giving artist ample time to showcase their work. Please fill out the form to partner with us on this!
At Afrotech'25, we had a mission to find Queer Africans and learn about their experiences and we did! We interviewed Queer africans in undegrad currently entering tech corporate spaces and Queer Africans people currently working in tech. Queer Afrcians do exist here too! We're showing up and thriving. The advise they have is to be unapologetically yourself! For any Queer person still figuring out their career move, tech is a viable path, with lots of Queer African representation.
Our partnership with Free Mum Hugs was the place where the idea for Queer Motherland was born. We hosted a workshop diving into the history of Queer Africans. We brought the struggles of Queer African's to the forefront of that conversation, pushing back on a narrative that has long isolated Queer Africans. This is solidified Queer Motherland’s mission to make sure Queer African stories, history, and identities are centered in queer liberation conversation.
PFLAG was the platform we used to dive deeper into our conversation on “African Queerness and Intersectionality." African is the cneter of humanity and therefore queerness, so you can't talk about the LGBTQ movement without mentioning the effect of colonialism in Africa, and you can't talk about liberation without intersectionality. In this workshop, we educated people on the harm colonialism has done to queerness in African cultures.
From speaking at their suicide vigil to bring long-overdue attention to Queer African suicide rates, to vendoring at their events and co-hosting a free Queer African movie night for our community, Dallas Hope Charities has shown up for us consistently. They have created space for the necessary conversations on mental health in Queer African communities and how legislation affects their lives. We are proud to call them a long-term partner in this work.
