GxL presents:

CINTHIA SIFA MULANGA

A new capsule collection by GxL - L’MAD Collection x Guillotine by Lisa Jaffe. Designed and created on the occasion of Sifa Mulanga’s long-awaited solo exhibition, Giants. 

Giants sees the artist’s once-idyllic, contained domestic spaces burst open, filled with larger-than-life characters and appendages. As Mulanga grapples with her innermost conflicts, she pulls, and pulls, and forages, drawing inspiration from the endless stream of Black women who seem so grounded in self. Giants is both Mulanga’s battleground and her sanctuary, set around this one stream: her unstoppable force, and these immovable objects. The figures in her work drink from this stream with an insatiable thirst, yet still reflect a desire for more. In this stream, Mulanga catches the reflection of herself in other Black women - yet, still, seen through the patriarchal gaze. Even in scenes populated only by women, they move with - and often against - one another under the inescapable gaze of this Orwellian presence. 

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sifa Mulanga’s work explores beauty constructs through her lived experience as an African woman. Using mixed media, she creates moments and conversations within domestic spaces, which function to challenge stereotypes and interrogate misconceptions.
