In the News: Visiting artist collaboration explores San Francisco’s Black churches – Stanford Report
About the Artist
Sabelo Mlangeni has built his practice around taking intimate photographs that draw out the inherent beauty in the ordinary. Driven by his interest in notions of community and communing, Mlangeni’s process requires him to spend significant time with those he chooses to photograph; sharing in their thoughts, stories, and everyday lives.
