To kick off Women’s month we are highlighting South African artist Mary Sibande. Sibande, a sculptor, photographer, and visual artist based in Johannesburg - is interested primarily in questions of the body and how to reclaim the black female body in post-colonial and post-apartheid South Africa.
\\"Sibande’s work not only engages as an interrogator of the current intersections of race, gender and labour in South Africa; but continues to actively rewrite her own family’s legacy of forced domestic work imposed by the then Apartheid State. Sibande employs the human form as a vehicle through photography and sculpture as a focused critique on the stereotypical depictions of women, particularly black women in South Africa. The body, for Sibande, and particularly how we clothe it, is the site where this history is contested and where Sibande’s own fantasies can play out.\\"
