Audio: Paul Nguyen describes “I Exist”

Paul Nguyen describes meeting a young man who describes his LGBTQ+ identity in Zambia, where such an identity is cause for imprisonment. Since Nguyen could not show this man’s face, he instead chose to frame his exhibit as a pride rainbow, where each portrait features a different color, beginning with Sandra in red as seen on this page. This, Nguyen said, is a tribute to the often invisible LGBTQ+ community in Zambia.
