Lerato Shadi


The video, performance, and installation artist Lerato Shadi (*1979 in Mafikeng / South Africa, lives in Berlin and Johannesburg) studied fine art at the University of Johannesburg and the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee. Her practice examines discourses of inclusion and exclusion and the visibility of People of Color, criticizing purely Western notions of history. She places her body at the center of her work – often in long, physically demanding performances that address the violence of images, as well as questioning monumentality and gender.
