What may now be seen as just a wild party, the socially conscious ideals behind the Mother City Queer Project bear remembering. Born in 1994, the MCQP was established partly to stir up the arts scene in Cape Town and partly to celebrate the freedom that the new Constitution promised the hitherto oppressed queer community. From the early days of activism to biggest dress-up party in South Africa, FAB is a new coffee-table book chronicling this 13-year history.
