Welcome
None on Record: Stories of Queer Africa is a sound documentary project that collects the stories of queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (QLGBT) Africans from the African Continent and the Diaspora. None on Record adds to the growing histories told by QLGBT Africans all over the world. QLGBT Africans are everywhere—within the neighborhoods of Dakar, Toronto, Nairobi, New York City and London and in the small towns and villages of African countries.
None on Record (NOR) is celebrating the launch of our new blog with a feature by Nigerian Dyke Performance activist Yvonne Fly Onakeme Etaghne! Yvonne writes about her frustration with the simplification of her African identity and the invisibility and discrimination she encounters as a Nigerian who is not of the major ethnic groups.
NOR’s blog showcases the thoughts, expereinces, art and politics of LGBTQ Africans. Enjoy this powerful piece by Yvonne and check the blog regularly for more exciting features!
