OPENING THIS week, Somerset House presents ‘Black Venus’, an exhibition which examines the historical representation and shifting legacy of Black women in visual culture.
Through the use of these three thematic pillars, ‘Black Venus’ examines the shifting image of the Black woman in visual culture and the complex lived experience that informs the work of cross-generational women and non-binary artists today. Emelife enthused: “Rather than simply putting forth a compelling group of contemporary talent, ‘Black Venus’ defines a legacy.
At the centre of the show’s thematic focus is the Hottentot Venus, a recurrent archetype throughout visual culture and the epithet given to Sarah Baartman who, enslaved by Dutch colonists, was toured as a ‘freak show’ exhibit under this alias.
