THE SAARTJIE PROJECT IS BACK!

The Saartjie Project is a collective of artists and activists placing a necessary focus upon the life and legacy of Saartjie (Sara) Bartman, who is also known as The Hottentot Venus.

If you’re familiar with her tragic story, you know that European fascination with her natural curves led to her remains being bottled upon display after her death, with nothing less than similarly oppressive poking, prodding and disenfranchisement of Saartjie while she lived.

We explore the continued fascination with the black female form, what it means to be in the black female body, honor Saartjie’s humanity and bring her story/our story to life through drama, song, dance and spoken word.
