Inxeba: Rethinking Dichotomies of Black Queer Visibilities

In this commentary, I read the recent film Inxeba alongside Andrew Tucker's Queer Visibilities in order to ask questions about dichotomies, the space of the rural, and the framework of visibilities for thinking through African Queer urban practices. I suggest that a careful attention to the representational practices of a film like Inxeba requires us to think in more nuanced ways about Urban African sexualities.
