Walking Tour:

Wangechi Mutu: Intertwined

at the New Museum

The twenty-five year career of Wangechi Mutu (b. 1972, Nairobi) encompasses painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, film, and performance, all of which are represented in this major solo exhibition running from March 2, 2023 through June 4, 2023 at the New Museum. Mutu first gained acclaim exploring camouflage, transformation, and mutation through collage. She extends these strategies to her work across various media, developing hybrid, fantastical forms that fuse mythical and folkloric narratives with layered sociohistorical references. The exhibit traces connections between the artist’s work and themes of colonialism, globalization, and African and diasporic cultural traditions.

HELEN LEE is an independent art educator, conducting research and crafting personal, customizable, in-person and virtual gallery experiences for adults and children at several museums. She studied art history as an undergraduate and graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with areas of concentration in Asian Art and Modern Art.
