When 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 9 August 1956 to protest having to carry pass books, there was no stopping them standing up for themselves. They recognised their power, and came together to have their voices heard. In that crowd were women from many different backgrounds, united in their cause for freedom, despite their different ways of self-expression. Some women wore hats as a shelter from the sun; others wore ‘doeks’ to embody their heritage. There could have been dreadlocks, hijabs, saris, tichels, caps, headwraps or hair left uncovered to display its natural form. Each head represented a woman who was showing up in exactly the way she wanted to – an individual who was proudly wearing her crown.
The headwrap represents the artist’s soulful connection to her innate divinity.
“The ‘doek’ celebrates women’s beauty and strength,” says the artist, who named the piece Crown Chakra in honour of every woman who radiates her inner light out into the world. “It’s all about unity and sisterhood. We don’t have to be the same, because each one of us is powerful in our own way, no matter how we wear our crown.”
