Two-hundred and sixty photographs will be brought together to present the full breadth of Muholi’s career to date, from their very first body of work Only Half the Picture, to their ongoing series Somnyama Ngonyama. These works challenge dominant ideologies and representations, presenting the participants in their photographs as fellow human beings bravely existing in the face of prejudice, intolerance and often violence.
