Photography as Visual Activism brings together Zanele Muholi and Francesca de’ Medici to reflect on photography as a tool for visibility, resistance, and care. Centered on Muholi’s lifelong commitment to self-representation and community building, the conversation explores how images can challenge dominant narratives, affirm marginalized identities, and operate as acts of political and ethical responsibility. Moving between artistic practice, editorial contexts, and lived experience, the panel considers what it means to make images that do not merely represent, but actively intervene in the world.
With sincere gratitude to Alessia Glaviano, Head of Global Photo Vogue, Condé Nast and Zanele Muholi, visual activist, humanitarian and interdisciplinary artist.
