ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:

Presented by FashionAFRICANA, MURINZI by Cedric Mizero is on view in The Frick Art Museum until October 16, 2022.

MURINZI means protection in kinyarwanda, official language of Rwanda in East Africa.

Protection is a subject Cedric has been exploring since 2017. For this installation at The Frick Art Museum, the body of works curated carries great emotional and historic depth infused with religious iconography such as rosaries, medallions blended with cultural references. The series of mixed media artworks are a combination of collaborations with more than 100 women artisans whose craftsmanship expertise includes weaving, embroideries and embellishments that are well spread across Rwanda.

Protection is an ode to life and poetic exploration of faith as the ultimate haven.

Thank you @kamsgahiga for interviewing Cedric and help document his introduction.
