The book features over ninety of Muholi's evocative self-portraits, each image drafted from material props in Muholi's immediate environment. A powerfully arresting collection of work, Muholi's radical statements of identity, race, and resistance are a direct response to contemporary and historical racisms. As Muholi states, \"I am producing this photographic document to encourage individuals in my community to be brave enough to occupy spaces--brave enough to create without fear of being vilified. . . . To teach people about our history, to rethink what history is all about, to reclaim it for ourselves--to encourage people to use artistic tools such as cameras as weapons to fight back.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith more than twenty written contributions from curators, poets, and authors, alongside luxurious tritone reproductions of Muholi's images, \u003ci\u003eZanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness\u003c\/i\u003e is as much a manifesto of resistance as it is an autobiographical, artistic statement.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 13.7 x 10.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770908508448,"sku":"9781597114240","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b5100b698b60897f53e2ea67f354e9d6.webp?v=1780380587","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/zanele-muholi-somnyama-ngonyama-hail-the-dark-lioness-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
