Red Cotton

Red Cotton is an exploration of what it means to be black, queer, and woman in modern-day South Africa.

It grants interrogates being non-conformist in both a traditional-cultural-religious upbringing and a more liberal yet equally oppressive urban socialization.

This poetry novella questions what women are taught about their bodies and the feminine sexual space, while also addressing the mother-daughter relationship as the first and most constant reference of womanhood.

The collection moves fluidly between the erotic, the uncomfortable, and the grotesque. What is painful and what is beautiful? What is remembered and what is longed for?
