A comprehensive survey of the work of the influential Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu Wangechi Mutu\'s multidisciplinary practice grapples with contemporary realities while proffering new models for a radically changed future informed by feminism, Afrofuturism, and interspecies symbiosis.
Her sculptures inaugurated the Metropolitan Museum of Art\'s Façade Project, and her work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate Modern, London, among other major institutions..
This monograph provides the opportunity to see thematic through-lines and progressions across the entire arc of Mutu\'s career to date.
Accompanying a major solo exhibition at the New Museum opening in February 2023, this expansive survey will trace the entirety of Mutu\'s influential career chronologically, from early sculptural works of the late 1990s to her collage works of the early 2000s and more recent video works, large-scale sculptures, and site-specific interventions.
Her work addresses some of today\'s most critical questions concerning historical violence and its impact on women, together with our inextricable ties toward one another, our ecosystems, and other life forms.
