Roxane Mbanga: Where are you from? (Performance)

San Mei Gallery

Where are you from? is a performance by multidisciplinary artist Roxane Mbanga, which will be performed inside her installation NOIRES currently on show at San Mei Gallery.In her work, Mbanga highlights the perceptions of self and the place of black women in public space, and their shifting registers of both invisiblisation and hypervisibiliation. Questioning the normative dynamics of the white gaze, in this performance Mbanga declines the contradictions of exoticism.Where are you from? has been programmed in conjunction with Roxane Mbanga’s exhibition NOIRES, on view at San Mei Gallery between 16 September–15 October 2022.
