New Mary Sibande installation at U-M Museum of Art reimagines story of South Africa s domestic workers

“Sophie/Elsie” by artist Mary Sibande in the Irving Stenn Jr Family Gallery at UMMA. As visitors pass by the University of Michigan Museum of Art, they’ll notice a stunning new installation on view through the front windows of the Stenn Gallery. Facing the walkway between the museum and Tisch Hall is a Black mannequin wearing a blue maid’s uniform that transforms into the dress of a Victorian queen. The look is complete with billowing cape and dramatic train that blankets the floor of the gallery. The newly acquired work, titled “Sophie/Elsie,” is by contemporary South African artist Mary Sibande, who is known for her exploring themes of race, gender and labor through the use of photography and sculptures that are often animated by elaborate costumes and flowing fabrics. ts purchase was made possible by a generous donation from long-time UMMA donors Joseph (BBA ‘63) and Annette Allen.
