“Historical Glitch reads like a vintage home video put together by a group of friends, and in a way, that's what it is. The short nine-minimum film was a true labor of love that takes viewers behind the scenes of the group's first voguing performance commissioned by Cape Town's Norval Foundation and curated by local artist Khanyisile Mbongwa. Short clips captured intimate moments with Queezy and his fellow performers Daniel Walton, Mziyanda Malgas, and Chester Martinez, as they rehearsed in their apartment and discussed matters of love, creativity, and freedom. The final performance, held at Cape Town's prestigious Norval Foundation museum, was also featured at the end of the film, where performers can be seen serenading the camera and audiences with classic Voguing moves inspired by iconic Voguers like Willi Ninja and local South African music dance styles.” - Amira Rasool, Paper Magazine
