Zanele Muholi's work addresses the sexual and gender identity of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex, and transgender in South Africa by challenging the traditional documentary of black LGBTQIA+ people in photography. In the series Faces and Phases, Muholi aims to reflect a more representative society by photographing individuals across the spectrum from soccer player to dancer, a scholar to a human rights activist. Having been excluded from any formal gay rights movement until post-Apartheid, Muholi attempts to address the issues of violation and prejudice these communities still face.
