South African government minister Lulu Xingwana walked out of an “innovative Women” exhibit because it featured Zanele Muholi’s photographs of nude lesbian couples. She reportedly found the photos “immoral” and “against nation-building” even though she donated money to the exhibit where Zanele’s work was listed in the exhibition’s catalogue as:”without precedent in South Africa, where there are very few instances of black women openly portraying female same-sex practices.”
Here’s what Zanele had to say in response:
“There is nothing pornographic. We live in a space where rape is a common thing, so there is nothing we can hide from our children…Those pictures are based on experience and issues. Where else can we express ourselves if not in our democratic country?”
She added: “Children need to know about these things. A lot of people have no understanding of sexual orientation, people are suffering in silence. We need to educate people about homosexuality. We need to have very good treatment and respect from the minister.”
The Innovative Women exhibition features work by 10 artists including Muholi, photographer Nandipha Mntambo, and painter Bongi Bengu, who also curated it.

“For me, what I love most about my social life now is that it’s exactly the same as it was before: hole-in-the-wall restaurants, bad movies, and a lot of sitting around with friends doing absolutely nothing. All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.”

Inspired by the Amazing Gentlemen of the Bacongo, Paul Smith creates an eclectic womenswear collection of dapper suits, layered separates, and textural accents.
I Absolutely Love tailored suits on women. Paul Smith did a great job of being inspired by the book, but creating something totally new. Hopefully this also gets more people interested in vibrant street style of ‘Sapeurs’ and the beautiful photo book.
