FAKA, a cultural movement established by Fela Gucci and Desire Marea, has come to represent more than the ‘performance art duo’ descriptor that has defined the collective since their inception in 2015. The Johannesburg-based duo focuses its work on issues of the black queer body, sexual fluidity and othered masculine identities. Through this, the pair realised the need for others to express their stories and experiences, and so expanded FAKA into an online platform that voices and promotes young black queer voices in current South Africa’s sociopolitical sphere. They regard their work “as an ongoing performance celebrating the third world aesthetics that often do not have the space to be validated on a large scale in contemporary creative culture.“
