About The Artwork
Using ballet as a metaphor for exclusion, in this FAB-are-us! series . The FAB-are-us! (FAB means Fat African Ballerinas) is an examination of the social constructionist insight about race for the struggle against racism. “why are there very few black ballerinas or gymnast? the concept that the black women is forceful, more earthy, dances solid and has the wrong body type in comparison to the “right type” whose desired traits include high arches, a flexible torso, small head, small bust, slim hips, small ankles, long arms and legs is problematic.
