These layered works stitch together a collective history of the African diaspora, envisioning a more interconnected future. Presented in conversation with selected objects from UMFA\u2019s African art collection, the exhibition highlights resonances across continents, histories, and identities.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition coincides with Fawundu\u2019s participation in the Congo Biennale in Kinshasa and the S\u00e3o Paulo Biennale, underscoring the global scope of her practice.
