Tracey Rose (*1974) has been a radical voice in the international art world since the mid-1990s. The Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting the largest retrospective to date of the South African performance artist, whose works explore themes such as post-colonialism, gender and racism.

The focus is on the power of performance art and the body, which for Tracey Rose is a place of protest, indignation, resistance and discourse. Her performances have illuminated and critically commented on key experiences in the transition to a post-colonial world. Her work is often described as absurd, anarchic, provocative and carnivalesque. The artist realizes her sensational performative practice in various media such as photography, video, installation and drawing. The retrospective shows works from the years 1990 to 2021.
