"Bona" è il titolo di un ritratto che celebra un momento intimo e positivo dell'artista, quasi una meditazione in cui #Muholi si lascia andare per concentrarsi su di sé. «Quel giorno stavo proprio bene, mi sentivo liberə, sicurə e accuditə» ricorda l'artista dopo la calda accoglienza ricevuta nell'hotel dove poi ha scattato questa fotografia. Infatti, nei suoi intensi viaggi, Muholi è statə spesso vittima di discriminazioni razziali, subendo episodi di scortesia e distacco. _____ 👉Questo weekend vieni a scoprire i suoi magnetici autoritratti visitando la mostra "Muholi. A Visual Activist" al Mudec fino al 30 luglio! 🎟Biglietti su ticket24ore.it (link in bio) 🕠Il museo è aperto nel weekend nei seguenti orari: Sabato 09:30 - 22:30 Domenica 09:30 - 19:30 (Ultimo ingresso un'ora prima) @muholizanele @24orecultura @sudest57 @biba_giacchetti @somnyamangonyama @mudec_official [Bona, Charlottesville, Virginia, 2015, ©️ Zanele Muholi] #mudec #mudecmilano #mudecphoto #zanelemuholi #muholiavisualactivist #muholizanele #muholimudec #somnyamangonyama #fotografia #mostrefotografia #mostremilano #milanomostre #lgbtqia #blackness #lgbtqiacommunity #blackcommunity #visualactivism #attivismo #blacklivesmatter
