Her mixed media collages are made with clippings from sources ranging from National Geographic magazine to hard-core pornogra phy. The Kenyan-born artist spoke about her life and art Tuesday in Nelson Mandela Auditorium at the FedEx Global Education Center. Mutu was born in 1972 in Nairobi, Kenya, where she lived for years before moving to study in Wales and the U.S. The artist said when she arrived in New York to attend Cooper Union, the way her fellow classmates treated her made her start “to evaluate this notion of being the other." During Tuesday’s lecture Mutu showed a historical photograph of African women from the early 20th century. She called it an example of a “faux-ethnographic" image. "(Women’s) domestic roles are implied in every one of their posi tions," Mutu said. The artist showed many of her own works, which respond to such images, including “Preying Mantra," a depiction of a woman loung ing under a tree with contrasting textures and surreal patterns. She also showcased “A Shady Promise," which has a tree growing back into the ground w hile a woman straddles - one of the sets of roots. She also showed slides of American-born entertainer, Josephine Baker, whose successes as a black singer and entertainer in the early 20th century defied the confines of society. “(Baker is) a woman who’s left her own place of birth in order to construct a fictional .African." Mutu said. “The beautiful thing is that she got away with it." Mutu also noted being influ enced by absurdist philosopher Albert Camus' \iews about violence and quoted him during the talk. “We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile," the quote read. “And now we realize that we know where it lives, that it is inside ourselves."
