QUEER YOUTH UGANDA EXHIBIT →

Known fondly as ‘The Pearl of Africa’, Uganda is home to over 42 million people. It is thought that around 500,00 of that figure make up the Ugandan LGBTQ+ community, yet living in one of the world’s most oppressive countries for the LGBTQ+ community, they face threat of exile from their families, harassment and violence on a daily basis.

 

In 2019, Fabrix’s Art & Photography Coordinator Chesca Warley documented a small community of LGBTQ+ individuals in Kampala, Uganda. She wanted to learn about the existence of gay, queer, trans and non-binary individuals in a country that is still striving to criminalise identity and sexuality.

 

Fabrix are proud to showcase these photos at The Binary, and to be raising awareness around this important story.
