Zanele Muholi on "Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness" at Seattle Art Museum
"The aim of this series is to undo racism in the media, in mainstream spaces." – Zanele Muholi
Taken in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa between 2014 and 2017, each of the 76 self-portraits in the Somnyama Ngonyama (Zulu for Hail the Dark Lioness) series is distinct and poses critical questions about social injustice, human rights, and contested representations of the black body. South African visual activist Zanele Muholi (b. 1972) combines classical portraiture, fashion photography, and ethnographic imagery to establish different archetypes and personae.
In this ongoing series, the portraits often rely on found materials, which become culturally loaded props. Scouring pads and latex gloves address themes of domestic servitude. Rubber tires, electrical cords, and cable ties refe...

Zanele Muholi’s Visual Activism
"Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness" includes one hundred self-portraits created by one of the most powerful visual activists of our time. In each of the images, Muholi drafts material props from her immediate environment in an effort to reflect her journey, explore her own image and possibilities as a black woman in today’s global society, and—most important—to speak emphatically in response to contemporary and historical racisms. As she states, “I am producing this photographic document to encourage people to be brave enough to occupy spaces, brave enough to create without fear of being vilified. . . . To teach people about our history, to re-think what history is all about, to re-claim it for ourselves, to encourage people to use artistic tools such as cameras as we...

Zanele Muholi: Mobile Studios | Art21 "Extended Play"
Episode #263: Visual activist Zanele Muholi explains the impetus behind creating what they call "mobile studios" to photograph members of the LGBTI community in South Africa. Freed from the limitations of a single studio space, Muholi travels to the homes and community spaces shared by the people depicted in their photographs. As a way to create work in which the participants feel most comfortable, these mobile studios allow Muholi to empower those around them, particularly the group of trans women featured in the "Brave Beauties" series.
When the "Brave Beauties" photographs are exhibited at Stevenson Gallery in Cape Town, Muholi invites the participants to visit the show and write testimonials directly on the gallery wall, so that viewers may learn more about their lives. As the partic...

Artist Talk | Zanele Muholi
Sunday, October 22, 2017
Zanele Muholi, whose photographs were featured in the recent exhibition Revealing Pictures: Photographs from the Christopher E. Olofson Collection, discussed her work. Muholi is best known for an ongoing series of portraits made to further the visibility of black lesbian women, even as her work insists that no individual is reducible to a category. Begun in the townships of South Africa in 2006, the series now includes more than 250 portraits from around the world. Cosponsored by the Princeton Photography Club.

"The aim of this series is to undo racism in the media, in mainstream spaces." – Zanele Muholi
Taken in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa between 2014 and 2017, each of the 76 self-portraits in the Somnyama Ngonyama (Zulu for Hail the Dark Lioness) series is distinct and poses critical questions about social injustice, human rights, and contested representations of the black body. South African visual activist Zanele Muholi (b. 1972) combines classical portraiture, fashion photography, and ethnographic imagery to establish different archetypes and personae.
In this ongoing series, the portraits often rely on found materials, which become culturally loaded props. Scouring pads and latex gloves address themes of domestic servitude. Rubber tires, electrical cords, and cable ties reference forms of social brutality and capitalist exploitation. Collectively, the portraits evoke the plight of workers: maids, miners, and members of disenfranchised communities. The artist often gazes defiantly at the camera, challenging viewers while firmly asserting their cultural identity on their own terms. These self-reflective and psychologically charged portraits are unapologetic in their exploration of the constraints of history, ideologies, and contemporary realities.

South Africa: Video Marks Campaign Against Gender Violence
Documents Award-Winning Photographer's Work
(Johannesburg, November 25, 2013) -- Human Rights Watch today issued a video showcasing the work of the award winning South African photographer and activist Zanele Muholi to mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. The campaign begins on November 25, 2013.
READ MORE:http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/11/24/south-africa-video-gender-violence
Muholi, who describes herself as a "visual activist," has spent years documenting the lives of black lesbians and transgender people in South Africa. "We live in fear," Muholi said. "And what are we doing about it? You have to document. You are forced to document." The film was shot and directed by Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrallo—the filmmakers behind the award winning documentary "Call Me Kuchu" which told the story of the last year of the life of the Ugandan LGBT activist David Kato.
The video is dedicated to the memory of Duduzile Zozo, who was brutally raped and murdered in Thokoza, Gauteng Province in South Africa on June 30.

More than twenty curators, poets, and authors offer written contributions that draw out the layers of meaning and possible readings to accompany select images. Powerfully arresting, this collection is as much a manifesto of resistance as it is an autobiographical, artistic statement.

Episode #263: Visual activist Zanele Muholi explains the impetus behind creating what they call "mobile studios" to photograph members of the LGBTI community in South Africa. Freed from the limitations of a single studio space, Muholi travels to the homes and community spaces shared by the people depicted in their photographs. As a way to create work in which the participants feel most comfortable, these mobile studios allow Muholi to empower those around them, particularly the group of trans women featured in the "Brave Beauties" series.
When the "Brave Beauties" photographs are exhibited at Stevenson Gallery in Cape Town, Muholi invites the participants to visit the show and write testimonials directly on the gallery wall, so that viewers may learn more about their lives. As the participants explain, this act allows them to be seen and to speak for themselves. For Muholi, the photographs and the "activist wall" not only give voices to trans women in arts spaces but also write them into South Africa’s history.
Zanele Muholi was born in Umlazi, a township southwest of Durban, South Africa, in 1972. From self-portraiture to photographs of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people living in South Africa, Muholi creates work that asserts the presence of South Africa’s historically marginalized and discriminated LGBTI community. Both joyful and courageous, Muholi self-identifies as a visual activist, driven by a dedication to owning their voice, identity, and history and providing space for others in their community to do the same.

Episode #263: Visual activist Zanele Muholi explains the impetus behind creating what they call "mobile studios" to photograph members of the LGBTI community in South Africa. Freed from the limitations of a single studio space, Muholi travels to the homes and community spaces shared by the people depicted in their photographs. As a way to create work in which the participants feel most comfortable, these mobile studios allow Muholi to empower those around them, particularly the group of trans women featured in the "Brave Beauties" series.
When the "Brave Beauties" photographs are exhibited at Stevenson Gallery in Cape Town, Muholi invites the participants to visit the show and write testimonials directly on the gallery wall, so that viewers may learn more about their lives. As the participants explain, this act allows them to be seen and to speak for themselves. For Muholi, the photographs and the "activist wall" not only give voices to trans women in arts spaces but also write them into South Africa’s history.
Zanele Muholi was born in Umlazi, a township southwest of Durban, South Africa, in 1972. From self-portraiture to photographs of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people living in South Africa, Muholi creates work that asserts the presence of South Africa’s historically marginalized and discriminated LGBTI community. Both joyful and courageous, Muholi self-identifies as a visual activist, driven by a dedication to owning their voice, identity, and history and providing space for others in their community to do the same.

Zanele Muholi, whose photographs were featured in the recent exhibition Revealing Pictures: Photographs from the Christopher E. Olofson Collection, discussed her work. Muholi is best known for an ongoing series of portraits made to further the visibility of black lesbian women, even as her work insists that no individual is reducible to a category. Begun in the townships of South Africa in 2006, the series now includes more than 250 portraits from around the world. Cosponsored by the Princeton Photography Club.
