We’re big fans of Wangechi Mutu’s work. The Lobby Gallery of The New Museum has her fantastical art on display through June 4. The exhibit features more than 100 of her works created over a span of 25 years. A live virtual tour will be available on May 12th. NPR explains her story and the themes of her work.
It’s by crossing borders that Mutu has found her muses. In an email interview for this article, she wrote, “Making art and traveling are my greatest teachers. Everyone should travel, not just to see new things but to see new things in themselves.” She encourages anyone who can to examine their home countries from a different perspective and from a distance.
