In recognition of her work, SCAD DEFINE ART 2025 salutes Zanele Muholi, a South African visual activist who focuses on documenting Black queer identity and underserved communities. With her use of photography, film, and sculpture, Muholi breaks down stereotypes and advocates for greater representation.
As a passionate admirer, let me share that this exhibition showcases pivotal pieces, such as the thought-provoking series titled “Somnyama Ngonyama (Hail the Dark Lioness)” – a collection of black-and-white self-portraits where Muholi masterfully transforms everyday items into potent symbols reflecting racial and bodily politics. The captivating series “Brave Beauties” honors trans women and nonbinary individuals in strong, empowered poses, while the documentary “Faces and Phases” highlights Black lesbians from South Africa bravely standing against discrimination. A fresh set of lightbox self-portraits further delves into Muholi’s exploration of identity and visibility.
Muholi views their art as a means of representation, serving as a beacon for members of the LGBTQI community and their relatives. Their advocacy transcends the confines of the studio, encompassing projects such as the Muholi Art Institute, which offers arts education and fosters up-and-coming artists.
