Grace Ndiritu: Racial stereotyping and cultural difference between east and west is explored in Ndiritu's installation The Nightingale. Wrapping a piece of fabric around her head, Ndiritu changes her identity through a series of movements as the headgear is transformed from veil to bandanna, gag to turban, from blindfold to burka.

Eastside Projects presents an artist’s talk with Grace Ndiritu (b. 1976 Birmingham, UK, lives and works in London). Ndiritu’s practice combines advertising, documentary and music video strategies within the framework of performance video art, and her work is currently exhibited as part of Curtain Show at Eastside Projects: Still Life, 2007, is set in a large curtained area formed from West African fabrics from Holland, fabricated in China and available in Birmingham’s rag market. Ndiritu’s series of four videos use West African textiles in a sensual and, at times, unnerving physical performance by the artist to the camera.
Previous solo exhibitions include Still Life and Responsible Tourism, Chisenhale Gallery, London, 2007, and the 51st Venice Biennale, 2005. Recent group shows include Dress Codes, International Center of Photography, New York, 2009; Flow, Studio Museum Harlem, New York, 2008; Dakar Biennale, Senegal, 2008. Her work is housed in private collections in the USA and Europe and museums collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Her films are distributed by LUX.
