Nora Chipaumire

Location
New York, NY
Digital Presence
Artist Website
Project Title
portrait of myself as my father
Fiscal Year Awarded
2016

Doris Duke Artist Nora Chipaumire celebrates and critiques masculinity, manhood, and ideas around the African male—his presence, presentation, and representation. Physically tethered to powerhouse Senegalese dancer Kaolack (former performer, Compagnie Jant-Bi)in a makeshift boxing ring, the performers battle their shadows and their ancestors, reflecting on what it is about the Black male body that both intimidates and intrigues us. Estimated artist fee: $18,000/week (plus housing and ground transportation).
