This panel takes as its starting point Zanele Muholi’s Faces and Phases, a series of photographs documenting the black lesbian, transgender, and queer community living in South Africa. Muholi consciously frames her project as one of history-making, setting out to add traces of South African queerness to a visual history that she sees as lacking representations of this community. Her project continues into the present, forming a living archive of personal and political transformation.
