Grace Ndiritu Biography

Grace Ndiritu is a British-Kenyan artist born in 1982. Concerned with the transformation of our contemporary world, Ndiritu works across film, painting, textiles, performance and social practice. In 2012 she began creating a new body of work under the title Healing The Museum, which sets out to re-introduce non-rational healing methodologies such as shamanism to re-activate the 'sacredness' of art spaces. Ndiritu has a mid-career survey, Healing the Museum __at S.M.A.K., Ghent which opened in April 2023. The exhibition includes a new monographic publication published by Motto Books.
