Now, Marina Abramovic's anthology of endurance is centre stage at London's Royal Academy - the first time in the academy's 250-year history that its main galleries have been devoted solely to a female artist.

The exhibition was postponed for three years due to Covid - but it finally opened to the public this weekend.

Kiran Moodley has been speaking to the Serbian-born performance artist.
