Working across installation, sculpture, performance, text, and digital media, Sandra Mujinga explores shifting economies of visibility and opacity, self-representation, and the politics of surveillance. Her work is deeply invested in traces and concealment, what lingers, haunts from history, or slips away, and in how bodies are remembered. Often drawing from fossils and science fiction, she speculates on creatures from the past and the future, while conjuring ghostly figures that resist fixed identities. Informed by post-human theory and the afterlives of colonialism, Mujinga envisions alternative worlds where technology, humans, and other beings merge in speculative and political acts of becoming.
