Artist and Contributors
Njideka Akunyili Crosby
In her methodically layered compositions, Njideka Akunyili Crosby (b. 1983) combines painted depictions of people, places, and subjects from her life with photographic transfers derived from her personal image archive as well as Nigerian magazines and other mass media sources. The resulting works are visual tapestries that vivify the personal and social dimensions of contemporary life while evocatively expressing the intricacies of African diasporic identity.
