Somnyama Ngonyama (2014-17) by Zanele Muholi
South African photographer Muholi herself appears, Zanele Muholi’s ongoing posed as if for a formal series – which goes on show studio portrait, a defiant in London next week – takes look in her eyes and its title from a Zulu phrase scouring pads or clothes meaning, “Hail, the dark pegs in her hair. Through lioness”. In every frame, these symbols of domestic Sofia Coppola’s lost blockbuster The Dinner Party by Joshua Ferris drudgery, disguised as tribal accoutrements, Muholi pokes fun at the clichéd Western view of African women through history.
