The
To Revolutionary Type Love project is inspired by love. It is a toast to revolutionary love. It is essentially an act of love and celebrates love through the spectrum of the LGBTQIA. Kawira Mwirichia, a talented visual artist, is the brainchild behind #TRTL. This project will uniquely illustrate rainbow love on kangas using symbols unique to the triumphs of the queer movement. In addition, love quotes collected from the Kenyan queer community will be appropriately matched to the kangas.
As the world celebrates IDAHOBIT (
International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia), this project will mirror the gesture of honoring queer love. Kawira will present the designed kangas for a number of nations, hoping to inspire and instill a sense of self-love, pride and wellbeing in our queer community here in Kenya as it reaches out to the world.
If that was not all, Kawira has invited six photographers – Neo Musangi, Mal Muga, Awuor Onyango, Faith Wanjala, Wawira Njeru and Maganga Mwagogo – to share their interpretation of love in the lives of our diverse Kenyan spectrum of the LGBTQIA. Imagine, instances of love captured on film. Love seen, acknowledged and celebrated, a rare moment for many around the world.
In partnership with
AFRA-Kenya, and supported by the
Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, the
