Queer bodies in African film - STIAS public lecture by Gibson Ncube
I set out to make two interventions – a focus on the body as a site of knowledge-making in understanding queerness where gender and sexual identity are not just performed but also constituted and embodied; as well as looking at the differences in how queer bodies are represented between North and sub-Saharan Africa, said Gibson Ncube of the Department of Modern Foreign Languages at Stellenbosch University.
