Sarah Baartman's iconic status as the "Hottentot Venus" - as
"victimized" African woman, "Mother" of the new South Africa, and
ancestral spirit to countless women of the African Diaspora - has
led to an outpouring of essays, biographies, films, interviews, art
installations, and centers, comprising a virtual archive that seeks
to find some meaning in her persona. Yet even those with the best
intentions, fighting to give Baartman agency, a voice, a
personhood, continue to service the general narratives of European
documentation of her life without asking "What if we looked at
Baartman through another lens?" This collection is the first of its
kind to offer a space for international scholars, cultural
activists, and visual artists to examine the legacy of Baartman's
life anew, specifically finding an alternative Africanist rendering
of a person whose life has left a profound impact on the ways in
which Black women are displayed and represented the world over.
