Coloured - Documentary Film with Q&A

Coloured is a film that brings to light the interwoven experiences of gender, sexuality and race in the coloured community of the Western Cape, in South Africa. After the film screening there will be a Q&A with the maker, Prof. Siona O’Connell, hosted by artist Désiré De Lacy and cultural producer Niels F. Rodenburg.

Set in an environment shaped by Dutch colonial occupation, the film shows how the coloured community is already on the margins of society, and how queerness adds to it. The documentary by Professor Siona O’Connell from the University of Pretoria in South Africa, offers a specific look at Miss Gay Western Cape, a pageant for largely queer and coloured men.

The screening will take about 1.5 hours. The Q&A will be hosted in English.
