Wangechi Mutu visual artist

This looks interesting. There are several other longer videos in the cloud, plus a review by Holland Cotter of the Times (getting my 50 cents a day worth).

I found this because Anne Makepeace did a short film on her. I saw Makepeace present her film about Massachusetts Native Americans and their language, at Stanford. I was also peeking into a Dartmouth professor who graduated from Smith and is from Plymouth, MA area and is part of that tribal group (two Federally recognized and maybe three more State-recognized, although I am forgetting the difference). The Dartmouth professor is writing a book about Indians in Faulkner. I got to that because I had a weak Faulkner reference “oley, grandfather”, in a story about jazz.

Tashtego in “Moby Dick” is apparently also of that tribal group. Wampanoag. Mutu is from Kenya — no connection there.

I thought about asking Makepeace about The Pueblo Girls.

Anyways wanted to bookmark or postmark Mutu.

edita: The Times article lead me to this:
