Latitudes Centre for the Arts| GIANTS

Latitudes Centre for the Arts is pleased to present GIANTS by Cinthia Sifa Mulanga. 

Cinthia Sifa Mulanga’s long-awaited solo exhibition, 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.

Cinthia Sifa Mulanga currently has no available unique works. If you would like to be contacted when new works become available please click here.

The show runs from 8 November 2023 - 26 January 2024.
