'Faces and Phases'

Zanele Muholi at STEVENSON in Johannesburg

Zanele Muholi shows 66 new portraits in this ongoing series which offers an insider's perspective on the lives of the black lesbians and transmen she has met on her journeys as an activist. Collectively, the portraits are at once a visual statement and an archive: marking, mapping and preserving an often invisible community for posterity.

Muholi writes: 'In the face of all the challenges our community encounters daily, I embarked on a journey of visual activism to ensure that there is black queer visibility. "Faces and Phases" is about our histories and the struggles that we face. "Faces" express the person, and "Phases" signify the transition from one stage of sexuality or gender expression and experience to another.'
