Harem Magazine

Harem Zine is a contemporary-African, small-circulation, and self-published magazine aimed at prompting discourse regarding the contentious, often taboo topics, of s*x, gender identity, s*xuality, and the like. We feature opinion pieces that aim to question social norms, while exploring and featuring the works of local artists and creatives. In essence, we are a counterculture magazine that focuse

s on highlighting issues that are repeatedly overlooked by mainstream publications. Additionally, we are intersectional feminists and believe that it is time to give a voice to those who have been sidelined by conservative, patriarchal African societies, namely women, q***r individuals, immigrants, and so on. It is our mission to create a space for individuals who are part of African contemporary life, but do not see themselves reflected in current media. We are a community of sidelined individuals. We are a community of iconoclasts.
