Right of Admission - Let the show begin!!!
Right of Admission
(Johannesburg, October 2014)
In a series of performative actions the artists Farieda Nazier and Alberta Whittle will contest the visible and invisible boundaries in Johannesburg. Using the physicality of the body and its appearance as markers for access, this performance functions as an intervention intended to challenge the “accepted narrative, which insists on an economic and social hierarchy of aspiration.”

"Ariving at Sandton City, we will be attired in full glamour regalia to begin the intervention.
We will perform a series of “selfies” at key places within the shopping centres: in front of the statue of Nelson Mandela, posing in boutiques, consuming expensive coffees, trying clothing and accessories. These “selfies” will be posted on tumblr and twitter as we intervene into the signifiers of success and excess embedded within the idea of what Sandton City symbolises for South Africans."
