Over the past two decades, Mutu has created chimerical constellations of powerful female characters, hybrid beings and fantastical landscapes. With a rare understanding of the need for powerful new mythologies beyond simple binaries and stereotypes, Mutu breaches common distinctions between human, animal, plant and machine. An artist who calls both Nairobi and New York City home, Mutu moves voraciously between cultural traditions to challenge colonialist, racist and sexist worldviews with her visionary projection of an alternate universe informed by Afrofuturism, posthumanism and feminism. This dazzling book accompanies a presentation of Mutu's new work on view at the Legion, along with a greater selection from her landmark oeuvre. It is the most comprehensive book on the artist to date. 600 00 $a Wangechi Mutu $v Exhibitions. 600 00 $a Wangechi Mutu $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Women, Black, in art $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Kenyan $z United States $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Multimedia (Art) $z United States $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Collage $z Kenya $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Collage $z United States $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Women artists, Black $z Kenya $y 21st century. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Julien, Isaac, $e interviewer. 700 0 $a Wangechi Mutu, $e interviewee. $e author, $e interviewee. 710 2 $a Legion of Honor (San Francisco, Calif.), $e host institution. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021405.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602014413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D1DF4B683F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
