The art of Ingrid Mwangi.
The collective's three solo shows last year were titled "Collective Desires", "Trophies" and "Man of War". The three theme exhibitions point towards the main issues that the artists' are dealing with currently: Firstly, questions and difficulties, on a global, collective level, of living together and overcoming cultural discrimination within the traumatic circumstance of historical and current injustices. Secondly, the use of the artists' body to generate imagery relating to these themes, the body being utilized as an interface between knowledge and insight. Thirdly, the omnipresent topic of living in a world ridden with violent conflict, destructive human action and the negative impact of media information - a desperate state which calls for attention.
