Zanele Muholi in "Johannesburg"Preview
Zanele Muholi shares motivations for documenting South Africa’s LGBTI community in this preview of the upcoming “Johannesburg” episode from Season 9 of the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series.
Shown taking photographs for the ongoing “Faces and Phases” series, Muholi describes a dedication to what has become a lifelong project. “I am a member of the community. We hardly find images that speaks of love and joys of LGBTI individuals,” says the artist. “I told myself that I would do better than any other outsider to project our lives.”
“Johannesburg” from Season 9 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 21, 2018 on PBS. Watch the full episode and artist segment.
