“I’m reclaiming my blackness, which I feel is continuously performed by the privileged other.” – Zanele Muholi.
For over a decade, acclaimed South African photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi has documented black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people’s lives in various townships in their home country. Concentrating their unrelenting gaze on underrepresented faces and scenes, Zanele Muholi pierces and dissects issues of race, sexuality and gender. They will be exhibiting their new work in Melbourne and Sydney, in a partnership between PHOTO 2020 and the Biennale of Sydney.
Muholi will be in conversation with radio producer, presenter and educator Areej Nur. Nur is co-founder of African artist collective, Still Nomads as well as podcast network, Broadwave. Nur’s work seeks to support women of colour, particularly black women, to be at the forefront of conversations about media, arts, race and feminism in Australia.
PHOTO 2020 International Festival of Photography runs from 23 April to 10 May 2020. NIRIN, the 22nd Biennale of Sydney runs from 14 March to 18 June 2020.
Supported by Naomi Milgrom Foundation.
