Zanele Muholi's portrait series of lesbians and trans men "Faces and Phases" (2006-2012)
"In the face of all the challenges our community encounters daily, I embarked on a journey of visual activism to ensure that there is black queer visibility. Faces and Phases is about our histories and the struggles that we face." Muholiβs self-proclaimed mission is "to re-write a black queer and trans visual history of South Africa for the world to know of our resistance and existence at the height of hate crimes in South Africa and beyond."
"rape is mostly an expression of power and abuse" being warped into "rape isn't sexual" or "rape isn't ever sexually motivated" is the most evil, distorted shit modern rape culture has produced. Just boldly turned it into a defense for the culture itself.
Watching world militaries destroy civilians and feeling powerless is excruciating.
It makes you wish that there were SOMEONE who could stop it, SOMEONE with the power and the drive to do good. A superhero. Because what can regular old people like us with no government position or authority possibly do to help?
But remember that they WANT you to feel powerless. They want your heart so heavy that you can't bear the weight, they want you to be too depressed to do anything at all, they WANT you to believe there's nothing you can do. But they're wrong.
Donating to a campaign doesn't feel as dramatic an impact as being able to swoop in like a superhero and save someone from a burning building, but just because we don't see the impact of donations with our eyes doesn't mean it isn't saving lives.
Sharing their suffering means boosting their support. Sharing means remembering their pain. Sharing means we haven't taken our eyes off them. And we never will.
Help me continue to help @aahedandfamily family. His daughter need serious medical help. Help be their superhero.
