Zanele Muholi presents “Visual Activism: Photography, Identity, and Community Work”

“This year we will be joined by Zanele Muholi, a South African photographer focusing on queer South African experiences and identities as well as representations of black bodies. During her talk she will focus on activism in her “Faces and Phases” project, her personal involvement in her “Somnyama Ngonyama” body of work, and her participation in public community activism.

The talk will take place in Rush Rhees Library on River Campus, and will be followed by a reception with refreshments. One of Muholi’s books will be available for purchase. Free parking is available in Library Lot.
