Provenance
SERITI (dignity) series - explore and highlight the struggles, strength, determination and defiance of ordinary women, particularly rural black women who, like my mother, fight hard daily to feed, house, and educate and raise young men and women under the darkness that is poverty and injustice. The series also references the strength, resilience and SERITI (dignity) of Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela (Winnie Mndela); a representation of black women and Mothers who were denied access to power and resources, but who SEED life amidst the violence and social challenges.
