Penny Stamps Speaker Series: Njideka Akunyili Crosby

Penny Stamps Speaker Series presents Njideka Akunyili Crosby, a Nigerian-born visual artist working in Los Angeles. Crosby uses collage and photo transfer-based paintings to expose and explore moments of collision, moments of unity, and moments of hybridity found in cross-cultural relationships and in cultures of colonization. Crosby’s work is both personal and universal, as she draws upon her lived experience with interracial marriage, immigration, and dual ideas of home, and the deep traces of colonization in Nigeria. Supported by University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). This event is free and open to the public.
