Su questo posto GALA Queer Archive

GALA - l'archivio Gay and Lesbian Memory in Action - è stato fondato nel 1997 per combattere una specifica cancellazione: le istituzioni pubbliche del Sudafrica semplicemente non avevano conservato la storia queer. Indipendente e finanziato da donatori, ospitato presso la Wits University (uffici a Braamfontein, collezioni nell'archivio Historical Papers della William Cullen Library), è diventato l'archivio queer più importante del continente. Le sue oltre 200 collezioni includono carte di Simon Nkoli, registri delle organizzazioni che hanno portato avanti la lotta costituzionale, lettere, diari, fotografie e storie orali da tutta l'Africa meridionale - la spina dorsale documentaria del passato queer della regione. GALA programma anche attivamente, incluso il tour a piedi della storia queer di Hillbrow gestito con Dlala Nje, che è il modo consigliato per visitare Simon Nkoli Corner. Visita: su appuntamento (orari d'ufficio lunedì-venerdì 9:00-15:00) - invia un'e-mail in anticipo tramite gala.co.za. Una tappa specialistica, ma per chiunque sia seriamente interessato alla storia queer africana, è qui che viene conservata. :city Johannesburg

In Johannesburg, you’ll find plenty to love. From lively bars and clubs to stylish restaurants and boutique shopping, the city offers a diverse mix of activities. We Start our night around 7 or 8 pm. In Johannesburg, that’s a common time for dinner outings. We Chose a goid neighbourhood like Sandton for fine dining — this area is known for business travellers, high‐end restaurants and lively evening scenes. If u want something more relaxed and trendy in Melville — 7th Street is lined with bars and casual restaurants favoured by students and young professionals. After our meal, we ease into drinks at a rooftop bar or stylish lounge — many venues in the city centre and surrounding suburbs offer good views and ambiance. Shopping can be part oiyour night out too: Visit the Maboneng Precinct (“place of light” in Sotho) on the eastern edge of the city centre. It’s a regenerated urban area filled with art galleries, shops.e.t.c Once dinner and shopping are done, the nightlife kicks in: The nightlife in Johannesburg is “lively and dynamic” with everything from casual pubs to upscale cocktail lounges to full‐on nightclubs. My Summary If I were to describe Johannesburg’s ideal night out in one paragraph: You’d begin with stylish dinner in Sandton or a relaxed meal in Melville, browse boutique shops or art-filled spaces in Maboneng or Melrose Arch, then soak in the energy of rooftop bars or pulsating clubs as the city lights up. The mixture of shopping, dining, and dancing gives Johannesburg a distinctive night-time rhythm — urban, creative and full of potential.
