\"Photo<\/a>
\nLiTer II from the Being series (2012) by Zanele Muholi<\/em><\/p>\n

Zanele Muholi\u2019s photographs are a direct response to the epidemic of \u2018curative rapes\u2019 and murders of black lesbians in South Africa today.<\/p>\n

As a self-described \u2018visual activist\u2019, Muholi seeks to challenge the status quo with intimate portraits of the queer South African experience. The exhibition fo(u)nd features a selection of Muholi\u2019s works from Faces and Phases, Beulahs and Being (2006-present), among others.<\/p>\n

Muholi is the recipient of numerous awards, including: the Index on Censorship award for Freedom of Expression (2013), London; the LGBTI Recognition Award for the Best Photographer (2012), Johannesburg; the Casa Africa Award for Best Female Photographer (2009), Bamako; and the Fanny Ann Eddy Accolade from IRN-Africa (2009), New York. Muholi’s photographs have been exhibited around the world, most significantly at the South African Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale, Italy and in 2012 at dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany. In 2009, Muholi founded the queer media collective Inkanyiso<\/a> ().<\/p>\n

Boris Dittrich is Board Member of the Prince Claus Fund and Advocacy Director for the LGBT Rights Programme at Human Rights Watch.<\/p>\n
