“...the rigidity that we face in present times, from relationship to gender, is a modern construct that comes very much from the colonial forces primarily through religion … historically many indigenous cultures left room for much more than the binary.”
-Saul Williams, director of the Rwandan sci-fi musical ‘Neptune Frost’
We had such a wonderful and illuminating watching and talking about the Afro-futurist movie ‘Neptune Frost’, which explores the journey of genderqueer Neptune and coltan miner Matalusa, and their blossoming relationships amongst a Rwandan hacker commune.
If you’re keen to watch more sci-fi, or more African cinema, I’d definitely recommend it!
Check out our podcast on the film to learn more.
