Neuschafer’s Tribe is a celebration of differences, chosen family and the unfailing power of community. Tribe’s protagonist is Nyasha, a lesbian migrant from Zimbabwe who creates an intricate network of aid for her fellow LGBTQIA+ migrant community in Cape Town. Tribe centres Nyasha’s story within the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic as hard lockdowns impact migrants and refugees, who are also ineligible for government assistance.
