“A Missionary Position”
“A Missionary Position” is a multimedia solo stage piece written and performed by Ugandan American artist Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine. A Missionary Position is a piece in response to the rampant homophobia now gripping Uganda - but from the LGBTQI community’s perspective. Mwine plays the role of a Ugandan priest, a sex worker and an LGBT activist in his documentary-style solo show.
It’s great to hear how folks from within the Ugandan LGBT community (as well as allies) respond to the violence, laws and media portrayals of themselves - instead of always having to hear it from outliers. Take some time to watch the video - you won’t be disappointed.
