BOOK LAUNCH INVITATION QUEER MOZAMBIQUE - queer lives and culture in Mozambique 

Mozambique’s 2015 decriminalisation of homosexual acts occurred not through court rulings or mass protest, but through parliamentary reform and local advocacy, making Mozambique an outlier in Africa in its relatively tolerant behaviours and attitudes toward nonheterosexual relationships.

What are the cultural and historical specificities toward gender and sexual dissidence in Mozambique that might explain its distinctive path, and what can we learn from them?

Wits University Press invites you to the launch of Queer Mozambique: From the Mines to the Manas

Join the editors  Francisco Miguel and Marc Epprecht as they discuss queer lives and culture in Mozambique, with Caio Simões de Araújo and Paola Prandini

WHEN: Thursday, 11 June 2026, 17:30 for 18:00

Sizwe Mashinini released his debut album, 'The Child is Born,' in 2016. Since then, he has released four chapters in the series and two standalone singles.

Deeply fascinated by the richness of Swati rhythmic heritage, Sizwe’s work explores the relationship between African musical tradition and contemporary technology. Through his compositions, he seeks to fuse traditional African rhythmic sound with modern sonic approaches, creating music that honours its roots while positioning African sound within a contemporary global musical landscape.

As he celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Child is Born, this performance marks not only a celebration of the journey so far, but also an opportunity for audiences to witness his artistic evolution from being known primarily as a jazz pianist to embracing a more atmospheric and expansive musical identity.

Alongside the performance, Sizwe Mashinini will introduce a new release, The Child is Born 5, which will be available both online and in physical format, together with exclusive merchandise.
