Fezeka Jacqueline Mophethe © Tumisho Ramokonyana Fezeka Jacqueline Mophethe is a visual artist working in photography. She is based in Vosloorus, in the east of Johannesburg, South Africa. She attended The Market Photo Workshop from 2019–2020. Mophethe started photography by taking images of herself and things around her using her cell phone. When her mother bought her a camera in 2018 her love for photography grew. She was fascinated by self-portraiture. Mophethe has a body of work named UBHUHLE BAM (my beauty) in which she uses the mode of self-portraiture to speak about the colorism she had experienced. That work was showcased at the first East Rand CLASH OF THE MEDIUMS group exhibition in 2019. She has participated in various group exhibitions including IHIYA and She Bad Bad in 2021, and Working the Land in 2022. Mophethe curated a group archival exhibition called Living Legacy with Dianah Chiyangwa mentored by Refilwe Nkomo in 2022.
