{"product_id":"faces-and-phases","title":"Faces and Phases","description":"Since 2006, Zanele Muholi has been photographing Black lesbian, bisexual, and\nqueer women as well as trans and gender non-conforming individuals in South\nAfrica and beyond to create the remarkable black-and-white portraits that form\ntheir life-long series Faces and Phases. This ambitious new volume, which is\nreleased to mark the project’s twentieth anniversary, showcases its geographical\nexpansion and representational diversity, assembling more than three hundred\nlargely unpublished photographs made in places including São Paolo, Salvador,\nLondon, Porto, Los Angeles, Panama City, and Muholi’s native South Africa.\nDescribing themselves as a visual activist, their mission is ‘to re-write a\nBlack queer and trans visual history of South Africa (and beyond), for the world\nto know of our resistance and existence’. Through these collaborative portraits,\nMuholi seeks to remedy the invisibility of Black LGBTQIA+ communities by\ndocumenting each person’s individuality, revealing transitions and fluid\nexpressions of gender in their lives. These striking photographs are often\naccompanied by participants’ testimonies elaborating their personal histories\nand lived experiences. Muholi’s interweaving of voice and image creates a\ntextured visual vocabulary in which their collaborators present themselves on\ntheir own terms, and from which a collective, living queer photographic archive\nemerges. Faces and Phases: 2006–2026 is an ever-evolving visual love letter to\nqueer communities of kinship: an ode to resilience and recognition which is\nequal parts celebration, commemoration, and reclamation.","brand":"ART AND PAPER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68090143801653,"sku":"9781917651844","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/9023\/3653\/files\/50271169-847f-446c-856a-7072d8b87fb8.jpg?v=1794146113","url":"https:\/\/librairiesanstitre.com\/products\/faces-and-phases","provider":"librairie sans titre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
