Artists have a variety of methods to make their mark. Every Friday we will share a photograph of an #ArtistInAction. Wangechi Mutu (b. 1972), born in Kenya, is considered one of the most important contemporary African artists in recent years. Her work spans over a variety of mediums, including drawing, collage, video, performance, and sculpture. She is best known for her big, provocative collages depicting hybrid female figures, which reflect on the ways human identity is dictated by the sociopolitical environment surrounding us. The mythical worlds depicted in her work encourage the viewer to consider the consequences of colonialism, globalization, and cultural transformation. #WangechiMutu mutustudio #AfricanArt Photo: Christopher Anderson/Magnum Photos/New York Magazine
