MTN Bushfire 2018 presents the Bring Your Fire Zone of inclusivity

MTN Bushfire 2018 wants you to Bring Your Fire.

As we get closer to the Bushfire Festival, which will be held from 25-27 May in the beautiful Malkerns valley in Swaziland, they have announced another exciting feature.

Winner of the African Best Responsible Event Award in 2017, Bushfire continues to set the bar high with regards to tolerance and a passionate commitment to music, the arts, and the environment.

This year, they invite you to Bring Your Fire; your energy, your spirit, your passion, and your drive to make a difference.

Bushfire will be hosting a diversity of activations in the newly launched and fully interactive, Bring Your Fire Zone, where a range of themes will be featured including environmental sustainability, education, cultural development, human rights, equality for LGBTI people, gender issues, as well as sexual & reproductive health and freedom.

Bring Your Fire

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people experience significant social discrimination in many places which sometimes prevents them from living their ideal life. The long-term vision is for all people to enjoy equal recognition before the law and social inclusion within society.

MTN Bushfire, in partnership with Swazi organisation The Rock of Hope will therefore present a host of activities aimed at promoting equality and inclusion. From poetry slams and discussion at the new venue The Hub, to social and photo booth activations, everyone is invited to take part.

The MTN Bushfire Rainbow Fire Stall Activation seeks to raise the visibility of the LGBTI community within the space with the hopes to spread the fire of acceptance within the communities in which they reside.

There will be a performance from Staceyann Chin, multiple award-winning poet and performer who unapologetically identifies as Caribbean and Black, Asian and lesbian, woman and resident of New York City.
