Exploring Queer Identity With South Africa's Born-Free Generation And LGBTQI Activists - Episode 1

i-D's latest documentary series, Out Of This World, follows American rapper, performance artist and activist Mykki Blanco on a journey to South Africa's biggest city, Johannesburg to explore queer culture at a time when LGBT voices are continually being silenced...
In this episode Mykki meets Johannesburg's talented youth; dancer Bradley and his boyfriend Nkulsey, a model and psychology student to talk about queer love in the zulu territory and gets invited to join artist-activist Umlilo on a Femme Walk of queer visibility through Joburg. Mykki rounds off our first instalment with an explosive show and exclusive music video featuring his tracks 'Loner' and 'Coke White Starlight'.
