Grace Ndiritu: healing the museum

Abstract

"Healing The Museum is a mid-career monograph looking at Grace Ndiritu's diverse practice over the last twenty years, which encompasses performance, film, shamanism, social actions, painting, publications, textile work, and collection research. The large selection of artworks included in the publication are in a dialogue with each other, further enriched by in-depth conversations with Brook Andrew, Gareth Bell-Jones, and Philippe Van Cauteren, and written contributions from Ifeanyi Awachie, Ann Hoste, and Hammad Nasar. The monograph's publication coincides with the eponymous exhibition at S.M.A.K.-Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst in Ghent"-- Publisher's description.
