  • Existing in a multi-geographic space, Dangerous [Alien] Women, is a prime example of Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze​’s continued exploration of cultural hybridity. Her work confidently tackles the notion that women of colour experience the world as products of cultural displacement, emboldening the lived experience of women throughout history and today. Employing found images, Onyinyechi Amanze​ evolves her preferred medium of drawing and utilises loaded symbolism condensed into single motifs. Her work conveys cultural displacement, anxiety, and identity, inspired by her ‘pieced-together memories’ of Nigeria.

     

    Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze has continued to exhibit in solo shows in the United States, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Some of which include there are even moonbeams we can unfold (2018) at Goodman Gallery, Cape Town; Astroturf rooftop picnics (2015) at Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York, and a story. in parts. (2015) at Tiwani Contemporary, London.
