Abstract

abstractWhile southern Africa is defined by deep rifts of homophobia and transphobia, queer youth navigate this environment in innovative and creative ways. In this Profile I will explore, through the use of a participatory visual workshop, dubbed Art for Activism, the experiences of queer youth in this region. The Profile will explore the possibilities which this workshop offers to queer youth, the challenges experienced by queer youth and the strategies they use to deal with these challenges. I argue that creative approaches, like the Art for Activism workshop, allows for dislocation to be a successful strategy to engage queer youth.
