At The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, the group show, focusing on intersectional artists, situates artmaking as a crucial salve to feminist cultural work

The artist answers the frieze questionnaire ahead of her solo show at the Legion of Honor, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco 

The Kenyan-American artist’s bronze caryatids occupy the museum’s empty niches which have lain bare for 117 years

Most works carry a subtle political charge that amounts to a thoughtful critique of the injustice of our times

The artist creates a specially commissioned work for frieze in response to Yoko Ono’s legendary 1965 performance ‘Cut Piece’

‘Her oeuvre was a radical departure and fiery negation of the masculine art-making that was prominent in the 1970s’
