Nyeema Morgan: THE STEM. THE FLOWER. THE ROOT. THE SEED.
September 3 – January 29, 2021
@ BMoCA
In her solo-exhibition THE STEM. THE FLOWER. THE ROOT. THE SEED., Chicago-based artist Nyeema Morgan poetically reflected on the articulation of 21st-century dichotomies of gender and power: objectivity and subjectivity, agency and powerlessness, offense and defense. Through sculpture, drawing, and other media, Morgan traced femininity as a complex process of categorization and identification—constantly affected by sexual, cultural, and political pressures. Guest curated by Rose van Mierlo.
