Zanele Muholi marks ten years of Faces and Phases in Johannesburg
Gontse Mathabathe reviews the tenth-anniversary presentation of Zanele Muholi’s Faces and Phases at Stevenson in Johannesburg. The exhibition placed earlier portraits beside newer photographs of the same participants, making change over time central to its living archive of Black queer lives. Mathabathe emphasizes the project’s political and personal force while noting that participants’ written testimonies, which often accompany the portraits, were absent from this installation.
