Na Chainkua Reindorf

Na Chainkua Reindorf is a multimedia artist and mythmaker. Her work, which ranges from large-scale tapestries to immersive sculptural installations, is an exploration of and ode to the rich cultural history of West African textiles. Na Chainkua Reindorf is particularly interested in the complexities and visual culture surrounding African masquerades and ceremonial costumes. Incorporating contemporary materials into her work, she draws inspiration from these historic textiles and costumes to explore social issues such as the politics of dress, identity and gender, and their intimate relationship with culture and tradition.
