Wangechi Mutu, This You Call Civilization?

Wangechi Mutu’s work boldly explores the contradictions of female and cultural identity, drawing the viewer into conversations about beauty, consumerism, colonialism, race, and gender. Her representations of the human form are disturbing and transfixing, at once utterly complex and strikingly direct.

Just recently I sent out a call to my facebook friends, feminists, activists, artsists, and film makers for research help on the general topic of masculinity in a state of terror. Although I only got one response I couldn't be more thrilled with what was shared. A local film maker, whom I know through a good friend was kind enough to share a video from some of his past work... aww i was literally quite stunned when the short video finished...Thank you Adam!
