RM Panel Talk
Panel talk on queer visibility and personal histories, with Zanele Muholi joining via Zoom, at Galerie Ron Mandos.
In conversation with Tengbeh Kamara, Zanele Muholi, Shirley den Hartog, Savannah Wolin and Rafik Opti
On Saturday, 31 October, from 3–4 PM, Galerie Ron Mandos invites you to a panel talk accompanying Zanele Muholi's current exhibition Hlanganani ("Unite").
Zanele Muholi will join the conversation via Zoom, alongside Savannah Wolin and Rafik Opti, participants in Faces and Phases Amsterdam, who will share their personal stories and experiences. The Amsterdam-based project extends Muholi's ongoing photographic series Faces and Phases documenting and celebrating Black LGBTQIA+ lives, highlighting the importance of visibility and preserving personal histories.
The discussion will also feature Tengbeh Kamara, a Dutch-Liberian, self-taught photographer based in Amsterdam whose work spans documentary, autobiographical and political photography. Their project The Trans Yearbook comprises more than 70 portraits of trans people who no longer recognise themselves in their old school photographs.
The conversation will be moderated by Shirley den Hartog, Director of Studio Erwin Olaf and a long-standing supporter of Amsterdam's queer community. The discussion brings together different perspectives on queer visibility, identity and the importance of sharing personal stories.
The talk will take place in the Faces and Phases room at the back of the gallery. All are welcome to join this conversation. Entry is free
Date: Saturday 31 October Time: 3 to 4 PM Location: Galerie Ron Mandos, Prinsengracht 282, 1016 HJ Amsterdam
