Senzeni Marasela came to Huntly from Johannesburg, South Africa with her daughter in 2009.
In Huntly, like anywhere else in the world, many women struggle with their self-image. The silver screen of our globalised culture presents a singular image of female identity, ignoring personal and cultural histories. Petite and pale-skinned, this image is characterised by the Barbie doll. So, with the 50th anniversary of the doll, what is it that affords Barbie the affection and admiration she receives? What is it that provokes an opposing reaction? And what is Barbie’s role in the worldwide community of women, as an icon, a look, a childhood memory and a woman?
