Zanele Muholi

South Africa, b. 1972

Muholi’s photography centres Black LGBTQIA+ lives, with portraiture serving as both personal expression and a record of visibility. Their self-portraits use light, contrast and everyday materials to create images of striking authority. Immediate visual impact is matched by a sustained examination of identity, dignity and representation. Their major Tate Modern survey returned in an expanded form in 2024–25, following its original 2020–21 presentation, offering a comprehensive view of this influential photographic practice.
