If a career jumpstart was a person

In the month of February 2021, ‘If a career jumpstart was a person’ could be seen on M2 West Freeway, facing traffic travelling West near Faraday in Johannesburg and is by Oupa Sibeko, an interdisciplinary performance artist whose work moves between performance installation, photography, film and community based activism.

Oupa’s playful, often humorous and at times satirical approach deals with the matter and politics of the body as a contested site of labour, and as an object that assimilates the spirit of the moment and adapts to its environment.
