Peter van Heerden (b. 1973) is a South African performance artist living and working in Cape Town. His performances often address the idea of saamtrekking or pulling together, a method of practice that can be experienced and shared by all races, colours, and creeds of South Africans.[1] Van Heerdens work is an investigation into masculinity and identity through cathartic performance.[2] Van Heerden’s performance interventions question how the privileged perform themselves once their privilege is deflated.[3]
