Salon Kewpie celebrates District Six for its unique spirit of place. Long since scattered, this was a society that valued diversity and had a thriving and beloved gay and queer community in spite of prevailing governmental oppression. Our graphics draw from a rich historical archive that captures this lesser-known aspect of our local history through the life of Kewpie—a celebrated hairdresser, onstage performer and iconic queer figure from the Apartheid era, who has come to be known as the Daughter of District Six. 

This tote honours our South African Queer Ancestry and the insistence Kewpie and her community displayed in the acceptance, nurture, and celebration of diverse gender expression. 

By purchasing SK merch, you directly support our aims: to foster critical engagement with the lessons that Kewpie’s archive and the memory of District Six have to teach us. 

Thank you for being a part of the project.
