Salon Kewpie Zine

Salon Kewpie: The Legacy Project has developed an interdisciplinary platform that provides queer and disadvantaged youth access to a creative space that engages themes prevalent in the Kewpie Collection. Kewpie Fritz (1941 – 2012) was a celebrated hairdresser, performer and iconic queer figure from the apartheid era, who has come to be known as the Daughter of District Six. Standing as a figure of defiance in the face of prevailing governmental oppression, Kewpie offers us a vital history of resilience, freedom, and belonging.

This zine was made in collaboration with the GALA Queer Archive.
