OPEN BOOK FESTIVAL PREVIEW: Dr Lwando Scott on Queer Anxiety.

This September, the Open Book Festival returns to Cape Town for three days of conversation, connection, and literary exploration. Since 2011, the Festival has carved out space for dialogue that is as urgent as it is creative, tackling the issues that shape our lives today, and, of course, issues that affect queer lives. For a programme titled Queer Anxiety, Nkgopoleng Moloi, Pieter Madibuseng Odendaal and Lwando Scott will speak to Rebecca Davis about the safety of queer people on our continent and in our cities

SCAFFOLD’s editor-in-chief, Gary Hartley, had a chat with Dr Lwando Scott for an exclusive preview.
