Mimi Cherono Ng’ok: Untitled, 2014
“Mimi Cherono Ng’ok calls us to places at the edge and along the shore, away from the spectacle of stereotypes of Africa, and toward the beauty residing in everyday life. ‘I am drawn to those spaces where there are either two things opposing, or existing without a direct relation between them,’ Cherono Ng’ok says, reflecting on how her choice of subjects has been shaped by feelings of unfamiliarity in Nairobi, where she was born and raised, but which hasn’t always felt like home. Cherono Ng’ok offers a reminder that in moments of stillness—as we stand beside a companion on the beach contemplating recurrent waves, or pause at the threshold of an open door—we can feel most alive.”—Hansi Momodu-Gordon, in Aperture Issue #227: “Platform Africa”
