Zanele Muholi Retrospective at SFMOMA

On the third floor at SFMOMA, a retrospective of South African activist artist Zanele Muholi recently opened.
Muholi began their 30-year career with photos of black lesbians in various photo series that range from trauma victims...
...to tender lovers.
Muholi has also created documentaries about the black transgender world in South Africa, and a few are included in the exhibit.
Muholi's latest work is a riff on Cindy Sherman, with dozens of theatrical self-portraits of the artist in photos, sculpture and paintings.
The exhibit is fascinating and will be at SFMOMA through the summer.
