Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the artistic production of the Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989) who found in photography a way to express in a sensitive and transgressive way the issue of homosexuality, bringing his own naked body as a central focus of the compositions. Through the analysis of two of his works, we intend to understand how art allows to open discussion about gender issue in the current times, particularly in countries where the death toll of the LGBTI+ population is still alarming.
