FACES & PHASES BY PHOTOGRAPHER/ACTIVIST, ZANELE MUHOLI
South African black lesbian photographer, director of
the documentary “Difficult Love” which recently shown at the London Film
Festival, Zanele Muholi, who always managed to keep media and politicians
talking about her work had an opportunity to showcase her work at the GOETHE
INSTITUT(http://www.goethe.de/ins/za/joh/ver/en10022821v.htm) in Rosebank Tuesday night where showcased photographs of black
lesbian, women and transmen from around South African townships and
surroundings. The exhibition oppening attracted mixed groups of races and cultures.

Regardless of the difficulties of “Difficult Love” producer
and director had experienced when all her material was stolen in her apartment
she was still able to produce such fine art that she showcased at the ZANELE
MUHOLI: FACES & PHASES exhibition, which she appreciated all the people who
contributed on getting some material replaced even though the work she had
produced over 5 years at least will not be recovered. On her speech she
delivered she kept it simply and straight forward which is unusual and allowed
the audience to communicate with her and of course with a glass of something to
allow some people to be free and get courage to ask her any question as she
wanted everyone to walk out of the auditorium having a full understanding of
what her work is all about.

When Zanele briefed about FACES & FACES she said; “in
this project I present our existence and resistance through positive imagery of
black queers, especially lesbian in our society and beyond. Faces are about
face-to-face confrontation between me as a photographer/activist and the many
queer people I have photographed/interacted with from different places. Phases
articulate the collective pain we as community experience due to the loss of
friends through disease and hate crimes”.
The event also allowed a lot of people to network and it
created a platform for other young artists to grow. Photographer/activist,
Muholi is hoping to host FACES & FACES exhibition in Durban soon. The
project was also included in dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel & Oldenburg, Germany. More on Muholi's recent projects please visi http://www.stevenson.info/exhibitions/muholi/documenta2012.html and http://www.stevenson.info/news.html
