ABSTRACT
InterseXion is a photographic project and multimedia exhibition created for the Queer in Africa: The Cape Town Question symposium in 2016 by Leigh Davids and Robert Hamblin. Similarly, the narrative about Cape Town and queerness has been deprived of depth because of an overemphasis on the structural configuration of the city and the neglect of individual queer stories of resistance, struggle, visibility, non-belonging and violence in the city. InterseXion destabilises these patterns by re-centring the voices of the humans whose lives lie behind the statistics, geographic estimations, headlines and police reports. In particular, the exhibition follows the lives of two people – its creators. Both based in Cape Town. Both transgender. The one a woman; the other a man The one black; the other white. The one working class; the other middle class.
