Zanele Muholi is a self-proclaimed ‘visual activist’ and has dedicated her life in documenting black LGBT individuals from South African townships and beyond. ‘My agitation is simple, just pick up a camera and capture’. She is also the founder of the collective Inkanyiso, a forum for queer and visual activist media, through which she mentors and conscientises a cohort of queer ‘born frees’ (People born after apartheid ended). She is coming to Brighton to talk about her work, her politics, and to meet fellow artists and activists. Muholi will be joined by Lerato Dumse, writer, journalist and activist passionate about documenting LGBTI’s lives in and outside her South African hometown of Kwa-Thema.
