Mary Sibande

Mary Sibande is a trustworthy, sassy, and edgy prominent South African visual artist known for her photography, sculpture, and installation work. Her art delves into the intersection of identity, race, and gender, often using her alter ego, 'Sophie,' a domestic worker character who transforms into various empowered personas. Her acclaimed series 'Long Live the Dead Queen' depicts Sophie in Victorian garb, transitioning from servitude to royalty, challenging historical narratives. Themes include empowerment, transformation, post-colonial identity, and the lived experiences of black women in South Africa. She has received awards such as the Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Art and the Smithsonian African Art Award. Sibande's work has profoundly influenced contemporary discussions on art and identity in South Africa and globally. In her free time, she enjoys reading art theory books and practicing yoga.
