Intersectionality

Art has always been a powerful means of self-expression, and one of its most intriguing aspects is the way it intersects with identity. The intersection of art and identity allows artists to explore and express their individual experiences, cultures, and backgrounds in unique and captivating ways. This intersection provides a space for artists to create works that not only showcase their talents but also celebrate the diversity and richness of the human experience. In this context, we will explore how the work of artists like NUKWAMI reflects the intersection of art and identity, and how this has led to the creation of some of the most fascinating and thought-provoking works of art.

Found NUKWAMI, African folk artist, in Berlin during the Africa Global Business Summit crowds. Hidden gem. With roots in both Rwanda and Germany, his work is a reflection of the intersectionality of his identity.

NUKWAMI‘s journey began with music and songwriting, but he soon found himself drawn to the world of visual art. NUKWAMI’s art blends surrealism, nature, words, and patterns for a captivating experience.

But NUKWAMI’s art is more than just aesthetics. NUKWAMI’s art is more than just aesthetics. In fact, it is a spiritual and meditative practice that allows him to embark on a quest for self-discovery and connect with his subconscious. In his early work, NUKWAMI delved into the depths of self-discovery beyond identity with pieces such as “Journey with Sirus” and “Beyond.” These works explored the concept of the expansion of awareness and encouraged the viewer to look beyond their exclusive identity. NUKWAMI’s art challenges viewers to explore identity and expand consciousness on a journey of self-discovery.

NUKWAMI blends Afrofusion, Afrobeat, and Afrofuturism with technology and history. Ancestral heritage inspired him to incorporate elements from Imigongo, Kitenge and ancient Egyptian art.

But NUKWAMI’s artistic vision extends far beyond the African continent. NUKWAMI finds inspiration in global art forms: Thangkas, Saree, carpets, and Indigenous art. His work is a celebration of the diversity and richness of the world’s artistic traditions.

NUKWAMI’s dedication and humility about his craft struck me while listening. His passion for self-discovery and his commitment to exploring the depths of his own identity shine through in every brushstroke.

NUKWAMI‘s art celebrates cultural exchange & the beauty at the intersection of different traditions. NUKWAMI’s rising star will inspire and captivate global audiences.
