Jenny Nijenhuis height - How tall is Jenny Nijenhuis?

In November 2019 Nijenhuis presented This is South Africa, a large South African flag made out of panties and underwear that were donated by rape survivors to her SA's Dirty Laundry installation in 2016. The flag is hung upside down as a signal of distress in accordance with the international communication protocols. The flag was hung at the SA High Commission in London to coincide with a protest against gender violence.

In 2016 Nijenhuis devised SA's Dirty Laundry public installation together with performance artist Nondumiso Msimanga. The installation consisted of 1,200 meters of washing lines displaying 3,600 pairs of underwear, which according to the Medical Research Council, matches the number of rapes estimated to occur on a daily basis in South Africa. The panties were hung in the streets of Johannesburg for two weeks to denounce sexual abuse and rape. In an interview with BBC News Africa Nijenhuis explained that she used underwear because it is the most intimate garment people wear, and it is also the last garment removed during a rape. From her point of view the use of this intimate garment carries a much stronger, and personal message symbolically.
