Faces and Phases: Zanele Muholi
Zanele Muholi's 'Faces and Phases' presents a powerful collection of black and white portraits, celebrating the lives of black lesbians. This ongoing series, initiated in 2007, began with women from South African townships and expanded globally after homophobic attacks. More than just photographs, these images serve as an act of visual activism, boldly challenging the stigmatization of lesbian and gay sexualities and highlighting the shared humanity and diversity within the community.
