Winnie Mandela: A portrait of Love and Revolution builds on similar conversations pertaining to freedom. In this work, commissioned by ZAM Magazine, kaersenhout offers Winnie Madikizela-Mandela the redemption she deserves. The artist recognizes the ways in which Winnie Mandela has been demonized and humiliated by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The South African secret service intentionally initiated a hate campaign against Winnie Mandela, which caused a world-wide backlash. kaersenhout shows how easily Black women are demonized and relegated to the margins of history. Acknowledging the important role Winnie Mandela played in the struggle for freedom, the artist honors her with deep care and respect.
