| This special issue of Agenda arises from the exhibition intervention queer & trans Art-iculations featuring Zanele Muholi's Mo(u)rning and Gabrielle Le Roux's Proudly African & Transgender and Proudly Trans in Turkey coordinated by the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies (29 January - 30 March 2014). A colloquium held alongside the exhibition, drew out the importance of art activism as a means to engage the need for locally situated knowledge and action around issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Both Muholi's and Le Roux's art collections raise critical questions of how sexual and gender categories operate in relation to other socially constructed axes such as class, race and citizen status. queer & trans Art-iculations provided opportunities to engage the public in ways that challenge dominant binary thinking about gender and heteronormativity in light of South Africa's constitutional commitment to promote equality. In publishing this issue, the intention is to extend and expand public awareness of the significance of the art activist intervention of the exhibition and to give it wider exposure and further, elicit feminist and queer theorising that engages with the (re)-situation of gender in the de-/post colonial African context. Concomitant with this concern is the policing of the heteronormative gender binary and the silence around the consequences of transgressing it: issues increasingly identified at the heart of social and gender injustices in Africa. queer & trans Art-iculations: Collaborative Art for Social Change Zanele Muholi & Gabrielle Le Roux; Proudly African & Transgender and Proudly Trans in Turkey; The writing is on the wall: Affect and conscientisation in the queer & trans Art-iculations Talk-back Station Leigh Blanckenberg & Haley McEwen; Querying the queer from Africa: Precarious bodies – precarious gender Tommaso M Milani; Looking into the eye of the process Intercultural art activism trans*/lations and intersex/tions in the Global South Abeyamí Ortega; How to be political?
