Gabrielle Goliath and Lindokuhle Sobekwa in MoMA’s ‘New Photography 2025’
17 Sep 2025

Goodman Gallery is proud to celebrate Gabrielle Goliath and Lindokuhle Sobekwa, who debut new work in the Museum of Modern Art’s landmark exhibition New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging. Opening on 14 September 2025 in New York, this edition marks the 40th anniversary of MoMA’s influential series, spotlighting artists working in Johannesburg, Kathmandu, New Orleans, and Mexico City.

Goliath presents Berenice 29–39, an immersive serial installation of eleven portraits of women of colour. Each portrait stands as a commemorative gesture to the artist’s late childhood friend, Berenice, reasserting tenderness and beauty in the face of violence.

Sobekwa continues his iterative project uMthimkhulu (The Big Tree), weaving together photographs, archives, and text that map multiple generations of familial history. The installation evokes memory, loss, and the enduring role of trees as cultural and spiritual anchors.

On view at MoMA, New York until 17 January 2026, New Photography 2025 reflects on belonging and connection across geographies, histories, and communities.
