Voices of Solidarity is created by Amsterdam-based, Namibia-born musical artist and activist Shishani and Germany-born musical artist Marie-LOU Sauter to raise awareness of LGBTQIA+ human rights issues and raise funds for nonprofit organizations, using arts and media as a platform for social action and advocacy.
