On 28 April Antonio Frank will defend his dissertation ‘Policing the Periphery: Party-anchored hybrid policing in Luanda, Angola’. His findings show that hybrid police networks in a number of suburbs in Luanda are anchored in the MPLA, the political party that has been in power since 1975. 

This week we celebrate Zanele Muholi, who won this year's Hasselblad Award. Muholi is a South African artist and visual activist working in photography, video, and installation. Muholi's work focuses on race, gender and sexuality, documenting and celebrating the lives of South Africa's Black lesbian, gay, transgender, and intersex communities.
