Wangari Mathenge
-
Wangari Mathenge captures moments of domesticity, family, and labor in her experience as a Black woman in traditional African society and the diaspora. Color and pattern complement form in her busy compositions of interiors and places, showing figures resting, conversing, and working, each occupying a distinct place in the frame. With her family and friends, one can feel Mathenge’s connection to their stories while also recognizing the innate privacy of selfhood.
