Where: Museu de Arte do Rio — MAR, Praça Mauá, Rio de Janeiro
Beleza valente at Museu de Arte do Rio introduces Zanele Muholi’s work, bringing art together with social action. Photography becomes a way to tell the stories of Black LGBTQIAPN+ communities in South Africa and elsewhere, preserving faces, experiences and the right to be seen. The exhibition runs until 29 November 2026.
Why visit?
The exhibition brings together more than a hundred works from different stages of Muholi’s career. It was curated by Daniele Queiroz, Thyago Nogueira and Ana Paula Vitorio, and came to Rio after its presentation at Instituto Moreira Salles in São Paulo.
It is a compelling choice for visitors interested in portraiture, social photography and the relationship between the artist and the people in front of the camera. The exhibition invites you to consider who has a place in visual history and how an image can bear witness to hardship while celebrating a person’s dignity.
