Taboom Media and GALA Queer Archive are proud to launch Courage To Share, the second volume in our Queer Activism in Africa anthology series.
In Courage to Share, 28 more human rights defenders from across the continent share their origin stories and activist journeys. These intimate testimonies of strength and vulnerability, all available in both English and French, document and elevate our collective fight for LGBTQI+ equality.
Queer and ally artists bring each story to life with original illustrations that depict the hardships and triumphs of our collective movement. The result is a powerful anthology of resistance, resilience, and recognition.
Like its predecessor Hopes and Dreams That Sound Like Yours (May 2021), Courage to Share emerged from a new Media Advocacy for LGBTQI+ Equality workshop Taboom Media hosted in Feb. 2022 with activists from 20+ countries.
Courage to Share was made possible through generous support from the Arcus Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, SAIH (Students' and Academics' International Assistance Fund) and Initiative Sankofa d'Afrique de l'Ouest (ISDAO). It is published under a Creative Commons license. Please help us share these stories far and wide.
A digital pdf of the entire anthology in its highest resolution, complete with stories and illustrations, PLUS exclusive access to high resolution RGB and CMYK versions of my personal artistic contribution to the anthology, as well as a behind-the-scenes look of the iterations my artwork went through in the process of creating it, and bonus alternate versions of the final piece.
