Venus In Fur: An Ode To Mosadi

September 06 - 12, 2024

Medina Art Gallery, Rome

ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the opening of Venus in Fur: An Ode to Mosadi, a solo exhibition of Studio Taki, curated by Luca Curci, that will open on September 06, at 06:00 PM at Medina Art Gallery in Rome. The exhibition will run until September 12, 2024.

Venus in fur: An Ode to Mosadi is a 4-year-in-process body of work by Studio Taki, celebrating iconic African women who have profoundly influenced modern societies and advanced the cause of humanity, through vivid imagination, dreams, and prophecies, brought to life on canvas, 3D forms, and vast mediums, as a mix of pop art and design.

Marvel Comics and DC Comics inspired the series, along with Japanese anime and manga, superhero and Disney princesses. These iconic African women are interpreted through Western and Eastern pop imagery, fusing two worlds.

The real-life superheroes have excelled beyond ordinary limits, representing brilliance in their respective fields, industries, and disciplines. From science and technology to sports, humanitarian efforts, activism, politics, arts, culture, and literature, these women have invented, innovated, and shaped values that resonate in esteemed halls and libraries worldwide: their knowledge and achievements are echoed in institutions of great merit, offering a glimpse into our true essence through their stories.

Among the personalities who changed Africa, we find Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first female president in Africa, who is transformed into Wonder Woman in the works of Studio Taki. Graca Machel, a Mozambican politician and advocate who is renowned for producing the UNICEF report on the impact of armed conflict on children, is known as the “Machel Report”, published in 1996. Brenda Fassie, South Africa's "Queen of African Pop," becomes Snow White in Studio Taki's portrayal. All these women stand as towering figures, having built institutions that lead the world and show compassion that has healed many, emerging victorious in overwhelming battles, gracing global stages with their talents, and enriching our lives with their wisdom and prayers. Their hearts educate, and their presence has been blessed.
