Wangari Mathenge’s Vibrant Paintings Tap into Kenya’s Paradigm Shift in the 1960s

Kenyan-born painter Wangari Mathenge's solo show Re-membering at Lévy Gorvy Dayan in New York, running through October 24, uses oil paintings of domestic scenes to explore cultural memory and Kenya's post-colonial transition. The series draws on Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's Something Torn and New, and she depicts herself as every woman shown.
