Sketching #Saartjie (Sara) Baartman (1789-1815) for a #sculpture I’ll work on during my #ArtistResidency next month.

This #SouthAfrican #Khoekhoe woman was kidnapped and put on display in European #FreakShows. Her organs were on public display until the #1970s.

“Prayer for Saartje” 🙏🏾

Sarah Baartman (Saartje) was a #Khoekhoe woman who was enslaved and taken on tour to be exhibited as a freak show attraction around the world. I created this small #sculpture as a #meditation on #rest in her honor.
