Being Her(e) examines, confronts and contextualizes the historical and contemporary notions of what it means to be a female body. It questions preconceived ideas about womanhood as well as a reflection on the somehow elusive theme of identity and its representation. It is a reflection on the act of myth making in relation to the female body embodying and performing the concept of a woman and also referring to the female interiority in Africa and in the Diaspora.
