About this Event


Amant New York Fall 2025 resident Sabelo Mlangeni invites you to participate in a walkthrough of his studio practice, followed by a conversation with Dr. Oluremi C. Onabanjo, Peter Schub Curator in the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art.

Throughout his residency, Sabelo has been revisiting his long-term photographic projects, deepening his exploration of the intersection between spirituality and culture. His research encompasses reflections on the Zion Christian Church movement in South Africa alongside a new body of work that explores the historical and spiritual connections of Western church communities, such as those in San Francisco’s Fillmore District.

In addition to these themes, Sabelo’s work has long focused on the LGBTIQ+ community, including his research on the first Pride parades in Johannesburg and New York. Over the years, he has created intimate portraits of queer communities, both in South Africa and beyond. Notably, his Black Men In Dress (2008-2011) series presents a provocative photo essay of the Johannesburg and Soweto Pride parades.

This program is part of the For Your Reference series, where our artists in residence share and discuss key references informing their ongoing research at Amant. Amant programs are always free. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. Doors for On The Path: Tension, Disconnect and Connect will open at 6:45pm on Wednesday, October 22 in Géza, located at 306 Maujer.
