𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐦𝐤𝐰𝐨

In 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚, Sara Boumkwo revisits her childhood dream of becoming a princess, transforming this personal memory into a powerful exploration of beauty standards and representation. Through a performative intervention in Brussels’ Matongé, a hub of African beauty culture, she emerges as her own version of royalty. The video work weaves together themes of childhood aspirations, Western beauty ideals, and self-discovery, while examining the external gaze placed upon women of color.

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐦𝐤𝐰𝐨 is a Belgian-Cameroonian visual artist who recently graduated in Textile Design from LUCA School of Arts. Working primarily with textiles, she creates works that explore the intricate layers of identity, belonging, and cultural intersection that shape her Afro-European experience.
