Under Thandiwe Muriu’s incisive lens, Kenyan women are portrayed in all their majesty, draped in fabrics with electrifying patterns, at the intersection of subtlety and brilliance. Revealing a new grammar of African portraiture, the photographer examines Black identity, the power of textile heritage, and the capacity for female self-determination. Between optical illusion, technical rigor, and the celebration of local craftsmanship, her work forms a visual manifesto for a proud, plural, and defiant African identity, at the crossroads of tradition and avant-garde.
