1999

In 1999–2000, while working for the Department of Health in Beyond Awareness campaign, she shot a series of photographs of 31 South Africans telling the public that they have HIV/AIDS. These photographs called "Living Openly" was published in newspapers and magazines around South Africa, and were displayed at the Durban International Aids Conference in July 2000. The "Living Openly" project was showing in a TV documentary which was broadcast four times in August 2000. This exhibition has been displayed at numerous centres and conferences, such as the Aids in Context Conference at University of the Witwatersrand in April 2001 and the Healing Through Creative Arts Conference at Museum Africa, in Johannesburg in November and December 2001.

1994

In 1994, she was employed by the Independent Electoral Commission with Paul Weinberg, Henner Frankenfeld and Graeme Williams to document the first democratic general elections in South Africa. These photos were published in a book called An End to Waiting.

1987

Starting in late 1987, Wulfsohn documented various HIV/AIDS awareness initiatives. This project was started because of a request from her cousin to give a face to AIDS in South Africa. Wulfsohn found that the Johannesburg Health Department established an HIV education play that was performed in clinics to increase condom use. The plays were performed by a group called the City Health Acting Troupe (CHAT). She documented the actors as they performed. The plays usually performed at waiting rooms and other public spaces, such as Joubert Park Clinic. Wulfsohn started this work in 1987 and end it at 1990. She worked with Gary Friedman in the Puppets against Aids project in Diepkloof Prison in 1996.

1979

Wulfsohn started her professional career as darkroom assistant in 1979 and asking for a photographer position when the vacancy became available. At first, The Star replied with the fact that they did not hire women photographers. Wulfsohn responded "It’s time you did" and finally got the job. She worked on portraits for the ‘Star Women’ section and ‘The Women's Page'. After working for 4 years in The Star, she moved to STYLE magazine in 1983 and in 1986 she was appointed chief photographer for Leadership Magazine. In March 1987, she went freelance and joined Afrapix as full member with Guy Tillim, Santu Mofokeng and Cedric Nunn.

The development of her political awareness started when she travelled to Europe in 1979 and was exposed to banned literature, Ernest Cole’s famous book House of Bondage. Wulfsohn became more intensely aware with social inequality when she was met with other photographers for a project called South Africa: The Cordoned Heart which documented black poverty in South Africa. She preferred to document how apartheid shaped the lives of South African's citizens rather than violence and conflict which happened between protesters and the police. One of her projects, which started in 1990, was called Malibongwe. She was also taking photos of South African women activists who worked hard to establish democracy in South Africa. Motivation to start these project was based on her experience in Afrafix These photographs form the Malibongwe, Let Us Praise the Women exhibition, curated by the Apartheid Museum to commemorate 50th anniversary of the Women's March in 1956 and were displayed in Johannesburg in 2006.
