Sharlene Khan
Born in Durban in 1977, Sharlene Khan completed both a BA (Fine Arts) and MA (Fine Arts) at the University of Durban-Westville, before moving to Johannesburg to complete a second Masters degree in Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand. Her work, as of 2008, has increasingly focused around issues of identity and family history. Her series What I look like, What I feel like features staged photographic portraits of the artist which portrays images of how she thinks others view her juxtaposed against images of how she views herself. These dualistic portrayals question images of the self and representations of otherness, complicating perceptions of contemporary urban womanhood, race, class and identity.
