A KHOISAN WOMAN
Commissioned by BBC Radio 3
Recorded live at Summerhall as part of Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019.
​
Saartjie Baartman is the proud embodiment of the Khoisan women of South Africa. But in London 1810, she is the Hottentot Venus, a freak of race and sexuality on display for the audiences' amusement. Saartjie stands as the epitome of colonial exploitation, ridicule and commodification of black women.
