Choreographer Sheree Lenting on her Proud and Authentic Black Woman Statue in Rotterdam

Choreographer Sheree Lenting came up with the dance piece that was performed together with colleagues. “I feel proud when I look at the image,” she says. She also finds it important that the statue is placed in Rotterdam. “Where else than in Rotterdam? She is also authentic, she radiates strength, femininity and she is a woman of color.” The fact that the image is a black woman makes her happy. “I see myself in the cityscape of Rotterdam.”
