Nu Africans
Nu Africans brings together artists Grace Kisa and Maurice Evans in a powerful exploration of Black identity, ancestry, memory, and becoming. Born from conversations about the relationship between continental Africans and the African Diaspora, the project transforms a diverse group of contemporary Black women into warriors, queens, and goddesses through photography, costume, and multimedia expression. Drawing upon African histories while engaging Afrofuturism, migration, cultural exchange, and contemporary experience, Nu Africans challenges Eurocentric ideas of beauty and fixed notions of Africanness. The exhibition celebrates Black women’s fortitude while imagining identity as dynamic, evolving, and connected across borders, generations, and time.
