Welcome to Documenting Queerness Archive!

In our first post, we discuss the origin story behind our archive. Why is a body of work that preserves and tells the stories of non-heteronormative West Africans urgently important. Why do we need an archive that documents the history,

[🇵🇸🧚🏽 @notcishet]

i’ve made a list of every Black queer film i can find so i can begin an archive with links and files to make our films more accessible. 400 films and counting! we will have a comprehensive list of Black film history soon. please respond with films i should add!
