The Domba Dance - a photo on Flickriver

The Domba Dance

This is a piece by Mary Sibande regarding the Tshivenda Initiation Ceremony of young women transitioning into adulthood. Sophie, the alterego of the artist, is the protagonist. Sibande is an artist that creates political pieces often based on Apartheid. This art was from my trip to The Museum of Art and Design in NYC. I never considered myself to be very interested in fashion but political fashion IS art and I love art so I really enjoyed this exhibit (also features three pieces by Nick Cave). For more on Sophie and Sibande:

On a personal note, yesterday Day 2 with Covid was agony for me but I am feeling a bit better today (I am also on Paxlovid). I think what we all have to remember is that you are essentially playing Russian Roulette when you contract this because there are so many variants and each one impacts individuals in vastly different ways. So, let's not be ableist in our generalizations of this virus.

I hope you all remain healthy.
