Mani Kambo: Ax·is Mun·di at Baltic
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorCeremony, religion and symbolism are the focus of the Baltic‘s new exhibition from Newcastle-based artist Mani Kambo.
A major body of work is on display in the Level 2 Gallery as a result of a seven-month residency that the artist undertook at Baltic, which supported her in creating brand new work for the exhibition with the assistance of curators, technical experts and equipment.
Kanmbo’s work is strongly influenced by her upbringing in a spiritual household and she puts into question daily routines and rituals. Practically, her work incorporates textiles, fabric dying and printmaking, and is rooted in her family history within the caste system.
