Avitha Sooful explores black female experiences in South Africa through socio-political and feminist commentary. Using landscape as a metaphor, her work examines ownership, memory, and scarring, addressing themes of marginalisation, domesticity, and violence. The paintings feature layered symbolic objects that provoke conversations around boundaries, fear, and resilience. Sooful’s works aim to raise critical awareness of prejudice and marginalisation, creating visual archives of women’s interrupted narratives. These works challenge histories of oppression and highlight the ongoing impact of apartheid-era legacies on contemporary lives.
