Artist
Miatta Kawinzi
Miatta Kawinzi is a Kenyan-Liberian-American multidisciplinary artist working with sculptural installation, still and moving images, the voice and body, gesture, language, objects, space and sound to explore practices of re-imagining the self, identity, place, and culture through abstraction and poetics. Their work engages interior and exterior landscapes to illuminate themes of inter-connectivity, hybridity, diaspora, and queered temporalities. Kawinzi’s practice is informed by embodied research and an investment in the language of gesture as an expressive tool.
Miatta Kawinzi has exhibited work at PS122 Gallery; The Africa Center; and CUE Art Foundation, all in New York, among others.
