The Baby Returned to its Mother

Περίληψη

This essay analyses the performative photographic series iSana libuyele kuninai by South African artist Buhlebezwe Siwani. The artwork is read as a representation of an artistic exploration that brings Sangoma practices – traditional African healing practices – to the forefront of the urban landscape of a South African township in order to question the still open wounds of Western colonialism and Apartheid regimes.
