All Hail The Queers Photography Magazine
All Hail The Queers is a project that is dedicated to queers and queerness in all its glory. This photography magazine is one of the mediums that translate this project in colour. It features nine queer African artists and individuals that shared parts of their lives through photographs. They are living, breathing beings- visibly and unapologetically queer.

As Imapped the foundations of this creation, I was confronted withthe different approaches of building this craft; pain and sufferingare smeared on our existence but that all there is to us? Are wethe remnants of our struggles? OF COURSE NOT. We areshimmering lights, we are stars bouncing poignantly on this earthand our magic cannot be contained in any straight line or box!We are the Queer Republic, the land beyond boarders andheteronormative perceptions. The truth has just put on a dragshow and this is not your average one-day show, this is not a showfor your entertainment- this is our lives layered in colour, this isqueerness in all its glory, these are living and breathing Gods.Everyone, All Hail The Queers!

I greet you with warmth and a clear heart of acceptance. As I
mapped the foundations of this creation, I was confronted with
the different approaches of building this craft; pain and suffering
are smeared on our existence but that all there is to us? Are we
the remnants of our struggles? OF COURSE NOT. We are
shimmering lights, we are stars bouncing poignantly on this earth
and our magic cannot be contained in any straight line or box!
We are the Queer Republic, the land beyond boarders and
heteronormative perceptions. The truth has just put on a drag
show and this is not your average one-day show, this is not a show
for your entertainment- this is our lives layered in colour, this is
queerness in all its glory, these are living and breathing Gods.
Everyone, All Hail The Queers!
