Wangechi Mutu (born 1972 in Nairobi, Kenya) is an artist and sculptor who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, associated with the Afrofuturist movement. Wangechi Mutu's work deals with the very idea of human representation; how we perceive and reproduce images of what we think we are, how we view others and create images of what we think of them. In her ongoing conversations with figuration, what Mutu's work looks at are value systems that either obscure or elevate our image and reflections. Accompanying a 2022 exhibition at Storm King Art Center, New York, comprising large-scale bronzes, earthworks, and films by Wangechi Mutu, this publication includes a foreword by John P. Stern, President of Storm King, an essay situating Mutu's sculptures within an art historical context by Storm King's Artistic Director and Chief Curator, Nora Lawrence, an artist's statement by Mutu, and an essay by Aisha Tandiwe Bell.
