Wangechi Mutu : Nguva na Nyoka
14 Oct-19 Dec 2014
Victoria Miro
London N1 7RW
Overview
Victoria Miro is delighted to present the gallery’s second exhibition by Wangechi Mutu, widely known for her elaborate collages that explore and subvert cultural preconceptions of the female body and the feminine. Mutu’s practice has been described as engaging in her own unique form of myth-making. This exhibition, Nguva na Nyoka (meaning “Sirens and Serpents” in Kiswahili) presents Mutu's latest body of collage, video and sculptural works. Drawing on such diverse references as East African coastal mythologies (particularly of nguvas, or water women), gender and racial politics, Western popular culture, Eastern and ancient beliefs and autobiography, in her works Mutu proposes worlds within worlds, populated by powerful hybridised female figures.
