Thandiwe Muriu

Kenya, b. 1990

Muriu’s photographs bring portraiture into dialogue with textiles, pattern and inventive styling. Her sitters emerge from richly patterned surroundings, creating a deliberate tension between visibility and concealment. The images have immediate graphic appeal, with closer looking revealing their careful construction and celebration of individuality. Her participation in KYOTOGRAPHIE 2026 included CAMO and new work developed through a Kyoto residency, extending her exploration of identity through an exchange with Japanese textile traditions.
