HOUSE OF LA GLAMOUR is a photographic essay that follows Imhaku Peters, founder of the House of La Glamour, in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

For his safety, Imhaku migrated from Nigeria, where homosexuality is criminalised and punishable by death, to South Africa, where he found that LGBTQIA+ people from various African Nations had sought refuge. He created the House of La Glamour with the intention of helping young LGBTQIA+ migrants to express themselves within the ballroom scene in Johannesburg. Imhaku regularly takes part in the ballroom events, and organises regular drag performances. He takes care of the ‘children’ of the house while also training them for on-stage performance. 

Imhaku writes, “Our message from the HOUSE OF LA GLAMOUR is that we are queer, we are African, we are black, and we are here to stay. Forever.”
