Zanele Muholi, Tate Modern
To limit the spread of Covid-19, certain UK museums have decided to close. Those due to attend an event should contact their ticket provider for more information.
Zanele Muholi (who uses a gender neutral pronoun) describes themselves as a visual activist. Muholi (born in South Africa in 1972) utilises photography, video and installation to produce work that explores black LGBTQI identities, shining a light on the prejudice and often violent discrimination experienced by this community. Muholi's work, which documents individuals against the background of post-Apartheid South Africa, the AIDs crisis, and on-going discrimination, are strikingly beautiful, and resist the temptation to lean on a narrative of victimhood.
Muholi's work captures the bravery and defiance of a generation. We don't know a huge amount about their show at Tate Modern next year, but the gallery promises an exhibition that 'will present the full breadth of Muholi’s photographic and activist practice.' Check back nearer the time for more information.
