Body of Rebellion
Anita-Praise’s work explores the intersectionality of the black female experience, and the different lenses through which society and the media view black women; how black women are primarily defined by white men; their female experience, generally composed by white women; and the black experience, usually associated with black men. The Black woman's body is dissected, dismantled, and fetishised by the media. What it is to be a Black woman is hardly represented correctly and the experiences of Black women are missing from the media and the arts, and are ignored in society.
