South African photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi in conversation with Astrid Birnbaum, recorded in Stockholm inside Faces and Phases: The Stockholm Edition at Eva Livijn’s Art Space, curated by Ulrika Flink .

For Zanele, receiving the 2026 Hasselblad Award is also recognition of the communities whose lives and stories have shaped their work. The conversation traces an artistic journey rooted in life under apartheid, activism, personal and collective loss, and the importance of representation on one's own terms.

Zanele reflects on the evolution of Faces and Phases, collaborations with Black Queer Sweden, and Somnyama Ngonyama, a powerful body of self-portraits exploring identity, ancestry, language and healing.

They also challenge conventional ideas of where art belongs, reflecting on the intimacy of exhibiting in a private home and the importance of creating spaces where people feel safe, respected and seen.
