About the artist

Wangechi Mutu In her diverse practice, Wangechi Mutu (b.1972, Nairobi, Kenya) reflects on sexuality, femininity, ecology, politics, the rhythms and chaos of the world and our often damaging or futile efforts to control it. Exploring and subverting cultural preconceptions of the female body and the feminine, Mutu proposes worlds within worlds, populated by powerful hybridized female figures.
