The Saartjie Project Presents...
HOMECOMING
5.2.09, 8pm | Capitol Hill Arts Workshop
545 7th Street, S.E. Washington DC (Eastern Market Metro)

In May 2002, Saartjie (Sara) Baartman's remains were flown back to her homeland, South Africa and laid to rest almost 200 years after she left for Europe in search of a life void of violence. Tragically from 1810 – 1815 Saartjie was paraded around Europe under the show name “Hottentot Venus”. Featured as an oddity and hypersexual African woman, she was adorned in feathers, beads and placed in a cage on display because of her large buttocks. When she died her body was dissected and her remains were on display in a museum in Paris until 1974.

HOMECOMING is a tradition adopted by The Saartjie Project to commemorate the 7th anniversary of Saartjie Baartman’s final return home and raises the question, “What does it mean to commemorate this day?” HOMECOMING will feature women and girls boldly using their original art to heal and change communities.
