- Wangechi Mutu, an artist from Nairobi, Kenya, says that, to her, making something is devising something new that is opposite to destruction. Through various artworks such as vivid-colored collages, films, and installations, Mutu casts a question and answers about countless issues in Africa. Mistaken views on women, more specifically, African women is a subject that the artist mostly focuses on. She thinks that there is no other thing subjected to both desire and contempt than a female body. It might be the reason that her works are visually glamorous and beautiful, while giving a little sad feeling.
The 21th episode of Brilliant Ideas presented by Bloomberg and Hyundai Motor features Wangechi Mutu, who hopes that people who see her works can escape from a mundane life for a moment to think about what it means to live as a human being.
