This paper outlines a museum exhibition of selected photographs by the South African Queer artist Zanele Muholi. My aim for this exhibition is on the one hand to make South African Queers visible, and on the other hand to challenge mainstream Western (and racist) notions of gender in an African society. In addition to this, I want to question whether it is possible to display such photographs in a museum without reproducing the colonial gaze.
