Artist Talk with Zanele Muholi

Celebrated by the international art scene, exhibited in major museums and galleries: Zanele Muholi's work delights and inspires art lovers worldwide. Growing up in South Africa's queerphobic society, Muholi, who identifies as non-binary, has made Black LGBTQIA* people visible through her:his art. The series "Somnyama Ngonyama/Hail the dark Lioness", which has already been shown at the Venice Biennale and the Tate Modern in London, among others, brings together proud portraits and self-portraits of people who are affected by prejudice and discrimination. Muholi thus gives them a face and a voice, using artistic means as a visual activist against exclusion.

In conversation with Maxi Broecking and Christina Bauernfeind, Zanele Muholi provides insight into her:his artistic work as a means of self-empowerment and a vehicle for healing and changing power structures in queer-phobic spaces.

The interview will be held in English.

In addition to the Artist Talk, you can also visit the current exhibition "Tracing a Seeping Terrain. Eloïse Bonneviot & Anne de Boer" at the Heidelberger Kunstverein.
