Shades of a Queen is a coming-of-age, coming-to-self,
coming-out piece exploring the identity constructs of an
African Queer child. The creative process was based on
personal experiences and challenges in the journey to
coming out both literally and metaphorically. Her Majesty
the Queen (a.k.a. Mmakgosi, which translates to ‘‘The
Mother of the Chief“) battles with stepping out of the
house and out of the closet. She confronts her self in all
her majestic glory, and the demons and counter-masks
that reveal themselves as identity constructs come into
being from mundane interactions with the world.
