Sarah, Theodorah and Senzeni in Johannesburg
Senzeni Marasela at Gallery AOPSenzeni Marasela’s exhibition 'Sarah, Theodorah and Senzeni in Johannesburg' comprises a new series of embroidered cloths and red ink drawings. Following her previous two exhibitions ('Theodorah and other women', 2005, and 'Witness', 2009) Marasela continues to visualize and mythologize her personal and social personae in her new work.
The unfolding drama in Marasela’s new work portrays scenes in which a naked Sarah Baartman is clothed by Theodorah and Senzeni, in the presence of various onlookers. Subsequently, the three women are depicted in various locations in Johannesburg, observing daily life in the city.
