Lesbians Free Everyone

Join us on the evening of September 29th for an extraordinary event at Afro Visionary Movie Nights.

25 years ago, during the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, the remarkable filmmaker and activist Dr. Bev Palesa Ditsie, then Co-Chair of GLOW (Gay and Lesbian Organisation of the Witwatersrand), delivered a historic statement for lesbians on behalf of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission and over 50 international organizations.

In 2020, during the global lockdown, Bev and an incredible assembly of activists from around the world, who were instrumental in this historic campaign, ventured online. Their aim? To not only reminisce but also to honor what will forever be hailed as the most successful lesbian visibility campaign in history.

The evening’s highlight includes a screening of this impactful journey, followed by an engaging Q&A session with the director herself, Dr. Bev Ditsie.

Adding to the experience, DJ Chai Latte will grace us with musical offerings as the featured live music act and official after party Sharman.

Don’t forget to claim your free popcorn upon arrival for an evening that promises inspiration, celebration, and a touch of musical magic.

We hope to see you there!
