Jenkins Johnson Projects presents Pride & Loss, a group exhibition curated by South African visual activist, Zanele Muholi, featuring works by the Inkanyiso collective including Muholi, Thembela Dick, Lerato Dumse, Boitumelo Nkopane, Collen Mfazwe, Thembi Mthembu, Lindeka Qampi, Velisa Jara and Lebogang Mashifane. The collective consists of South African visual activists and photographers who produce, educate, and disseminate information for the LGBTI community and marginalized people. This non-profit organization was conceptualized in 2006 and founded in 2009 by Muholi, who has dedicated her work and life to increasing the visibility of black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTI), whose lives are in constant danger due to their sexual orientation. Photographers, artists and activists of the Inkanyiso collective present photographs and videos from their archives that capture the joys and brutalities faced by the LGBTI community in South Africa. The exhibition will be punctuated with performances and events including a performance by Push Nqelenga and a closing celebration on June 16th called Same Sex Saturday, produced by Andiswa Dlamini, which occurs during NYC Pride and South African Youth Day.
