The evolving role of self-portraiture in our age of selfies and social media is more than just a trend; it's a powerful reflection of our identities and experiences. Artists featured in the Beyond Likeness exhibition challenge traditional views, using their work to explore themes of gender, culture, and personal history. As we navigate through their artworks—ranging from performance pieces to striking sculptures—we're prompted to think about how we represent ourselves and the narratives we create. What’s even more compelling is how these diverse artists share their personal stories and struggles, inviting us all to reflect on our own experiences and connections. So, where do you stand? Are we truly beyond likeness, or does traditional representation still hold value in exploring personal identity? Join the conversation and let’s dive deeper into this fascinating dialogue. 🤔✨ #ArtMatters #Identity #Representation #SelfPortraiture #BeyondLikeness #ArtCommunity https://lnkd.in/gFFUhBSj

There’s something captivating about black and white photography. The absence of color allows for a raw, authentic look at the world, where every detail, every shadow, and every highlight speaks volumes. It makes me reflect on the power of words and how much can be said in the simplest of ways. Lately, I’ve been thinking: Have we truly changed? In some ways, the world feels different, but in others, it remains the same. Sometimes, I wonder if the shift is really as significant as it seems. But then I look at a photograph—Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange—and I’m reminded of the power of a single moment captured in time. Each of these photographers told stories through their lens, stories that words alone could never fully capture. And that’s the power of imagery—it can say so much more than we realize. It can reflect on the past, shape the present, and even give us hope for the future. Today, I think about the resilience it takes to move forward, no matter what challenges we face. Our experiences may be shaped by the past, but it’s how we respond that defines who we are today. #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Resilience #Change #Inspiration #TimelessArt #Mindfulness #SelfReflection #Wellness #Empowerment #LGBTQIA #MentalHealthMatters #PhotographyLovers

Drawing on Muholi’s photography and the indigenous “felt theory” how do these marginalized communities make visible the collective trauma they have suffered? DRAFT/STUDY TIPS Introduction The representation of marginalized communities and their collective trauma through visual art is a powerful medium of expression and resistance. Zanele Muholi’s photography, coupled with the indigenous “felt theory,” provides a profound lens through which the visibility of such trauma can be explored. Muholi, a South African visual activist, uses photography to document and celebrate the lives of Black LGBTQIA+ individuals, thereby creating a narrative that challenges the erasure and marginalization of these communities. The indigenous "felt theory," a concept rooted in indigenous knowledge systems, emphasizes the embodiment and communal experience of trauma and resilience. This essay critically examines how Muholi’s photography and the indigenous "felt theory" collaborate to make visible the collective trauma suffered by marginalized communities, providing a platform for both healing and resistance.
