Sisanda Kubeka is a cultural writer, researcher, and multidisciplinary artist from Johannesburg, South Africa. Their work spans journalism, theatre, and poetry – from writing personal and political pieces centring Black queer experiences, to developing queer-affirming theatre. Their work acts as a site of both care and resistance, exploring decolonial and Indigenous African approaches to knowledge-making. Across all these spaces, they aim always to write toward joy. Guided by Black feminist theory and a deep love for community-rooted storytelling, they see writing as a kind of holding: a soft infrastructure that allows us to see ourselves, especially when the world tries not to.
