Sarah Baartman, a story about racism, exploitation and misogynoir. ✍️ by @girlsagainstoppression 🎨 Art by @samanthajhahn “Please consider donating to the @saartjiebaartmancentre to help support the vital work they do in South Africa.” “Please note that we consciously choose not to consume or share imagery of Sarah Baartman’s body, specifically the racist and degrading illustrations and caricatures. Those images of her were drawn non consensually, making it unethical to distribute. Sarah was exploited in life as she was in death, please let her rest now protected from the gawking gaze of the masses. Sharing the imagery of her body further puts her on display through the obscured and exploitative gaze of the creators of those illustrations and amounts to a continued online freak show. Let her rest.”
