Pride Anthology Issue IV (West Meets East) features contemporary LGBTQ+ literature and visual art from Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda, offering insights into the intersection of sexuality, identity, and cultural expression in African contexts.These works capture and highlight both the unique textures of queer life across different African cultures and the universal threads of love, resistance, and joy that connect us all.
In countries where LGBTQ+ identities face criminalization, this anthology is more than art. It is survival, resistance, and hope bound in pages. We invite you to witness, celebrate, and share in our version of activism.
