Venus' Daughter

Beschreibung

"Exploring the intersection of myth, fable, and making connections through the centuries, Venus' Daughter peels back the layers of pop culture's obsession with the Black female form and the silence around the life of Sara Baartman, a Khoisan woman taken from South Africa and displayed on London stages (and posthumously at a French museum) as "The Hottentot Venus.""--
