Tracey Rose is a South African artist who lives and works in Johannesburg. Rose is best known for her performances, video installations, and photographs. Rose’s work responds to the limitations of dogma and the flaws in institutionalised cultural discourse. Her practice, which is known for centering on performance, also includes photography, video, and installation. Always evident in her work is the artist’s insistence in confronting the politics of identity, including sexual, racial, and gender-based themes. According to Jan Avgikos, “part of Rose’s appeal is her fluid referencing of ’60s and ’70s performance art”.
