Neemo Mungai is a Kenyan artist working across photography and digital collage. Her practice is one of self-investigation, moving through the family photographs, archival documents and personal records to give image and form to the things she is working to understand, the cost of belonging to a family, a culture, a history. Her body of work forms an ongoing archive of inheritance: what is carried, what is contested, and what is finally claimed.
She explores the complex and raw emotions of youth and angst, as well as themes of identity, awareness, and meaning in the contemporary African age. Her work is a captivating blend of vulnerability and strength, capturing the essence of her subjects as they navigate their place in society. With a unique eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, she sees her art as a voice for herself and as a medium for creating dialogue with viewers of her work.
