Museum of the Black DigitalFirst to rec
“Liz Mputu's work mobilizes video, interactive media, sculpture, and installation to examine questions of play, spirituality, and well/being within and beyond virtual space. Her multimedia and multi-platform practice explores subjects such as digital citizenship and the intimate relationship between humans and technology; resistance efforts in preserving traditional Congolese spirituality and life principles in a post-colonial world; the freedom of self-authorship online in a capitalist society; challenging forced normativity in identity politics and explorations into taboo subcultures.
Engage with Liz's work on her cyber-utopian website LVLZ HEALING HUB linked above and learn more about her personal online journey in this Artist Profile published by Rhizome.
I had the honor of curating Liz’s work in my curatorial debut, an exhibition titled Flip It & Reverse It: Spectacles of Blackness in Popular Media.”
