At Galleria Borghese, Wangechi Mutu’s powerful imagination meets the solemnity of the Classical world, transforming the space into a theater of suspended visions, organic memories, and evolving myths. The Kenyan-American artist unveils a site-specific intervention that inhabits the museum’s rooms, gardens, and façade with ethereal yet tactile presences. Poems of the Black Earth is a journey through fragmented bodies, ancestral voices, and balanced forms. Bronze, feathers, wax, water, and wood stand in contrast to classical marble, evoking metamorphoses in progress. Her works float through space or rise from the earth, giving voice to the invisible and the forgotten. With the force of sculpted poetry, Mutu redefines the museum - from a temple of memory to a living organism, open to imagination. An exhibition that invites us to look elsewhere, beyond, and more deeply.
