Nzuji de Magalhaes

Nzuji de Magalhaes, a native of Angola, Africa, bases her work on the traditional, cultural and contemporary art forms that have further developed here in the United States. Her work not only emphasizes on the labor and its aesthetics, but also on the political and social issues of her native home and this country.

As a black, female artist, her work brings forward issues that personally and socially affected her, such as concerns regard to minority women and child labor, and minority street vendors here and overseas.

Magalhaes' work brings forward a cultural and traditional presence that many minority artists have given and are still giving in this country and the world.
