Na Chainkua Reindorf: Strange Flesh

As part of the OFF of the Dakar Biennale, Galerie Cécile Fakhoury is delighted to invite artist Na Chainkua Reindorf to take over its Dakar space from May 15 to August 24, 2024 to present the exhibition Strange Flesh.

Na Chainkua Reindorf (b. 1991, Ghana) is a multidisciplinary artist with a deep interest in world-building and mythmaking through the art of the masquerade. Upon imagining a fictional female masquerade society, Reindorf’s art practice is currently focused on creating artworks ranging from paintings and tapestries to sculptural installations which serve as referential visual lexicon for this imagined world.

Inspired by personal experiences and exploring West African folklore and religious cosmologies, Reindorf is interested in masquerading as an intervention through which guises and mutable personalities can be used to explore deviancy and non-conformity.

Na Chainkua Reindorf received an MFA from Cornell University and has exhibited internationally in institutions across Africa, North America and Europe. In 2022, Reindorf was one of three artists representing Ghana at the Venice Biennale.
