Zanele Muholi and Inkanyiso<\/h2>\n

Zanele Muholi<\/a> is a visual activist documenting the lesbian and queer communities in the South African townships. She makes photos of the individual queer women, their intimate and sensual moments of their deviant love and the funerals of the young women who died as victims of hate crimes (see the above list).<\/p>\n

In a video Zanele explains about her work<\/a> as an visual activist: ‘any person who is interested in learning is welcome to learn how to take photographs. I provide cameras as long as the person will be able to document what then will become a contributions towards Inkanyiso<\/a> which is the organization that I formed. One cannot do these major projects alone,which is why I invited people to come on board and work with me. And it means that it is not lonely anymore. – I started this project called Inkanyiso to ensure that people wo are featuring in my photographs get a platform to share their own lives and work.’<\/p>\n

BBC Arts about Zanele Muholi’s new book:<\/h2>\n

“Zanele Muholi is being recognised for Faces and Phases 2006-2014<\/em>. Published in book form by Steidl, it\u2019s an epic and beautiful project comprising portraits of more than 200 black lesbian women and trans men. The black and white images have an eternal gravity, serious and dignified \u2013 the absolute opposite of sensational \u2013 with the sitters usually at a three quarter angle, yet looking directly into the camera, expressions unsmiling and level.” – BBC Arts<\/p>\n
