Co-created during the first ever gathering of and for African trans activists in Cape Town, the work of Gabrielle Le Roux is a creative intervention for social justice, to mark the emergence of an African trans movement and honor the people from seven countries who chose to participate. After drawing each person from life, the artist invited each participant to write words of their choice directly onto their portrait. Each person also wrote a separate, longer text about themselves that is exhibited beside the portrait.
