Explore the transformative photography of Zanele Muholi in a dynamic, four-week online course led by Renée Mussai

Through informal discussions and visual analysis, participants will engage with key works, including Only Half the Picture, Faces and Phases, and the renowned self-portrait series Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness. The course responds to Muholi’s current Tate Modern exhibition and features insights from guest speakers and fellow participants.

If the ticket price is a barrier for your attendance, please get in touch with us at YoungPeoplesProgrammesLondon@tate.org.uk.

Supported by The Rothschild Foundation.
