Question

Bullet holes riddle the walls while suspended wine bottles slowly drip onto a wooden table in this artist’s installation Exhuming Gluttony: A Lover’s Requiem. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this artist whose Afrofuturist works include the animated video The End of Eating Everything. In 2019, the Met installed four sculptures from this Kenyan artist’s Seated series on its façade.

ANSWER: Wangechi Mutu

[10m] In an interview with the Met, Mutu identified the figures in her Seated series with these features “from history.” These features in the form of women acted as supports in ancient Greek architecture.

ANSWER: caryatids [or karuátides; or karuâtis]

[10e] Mutu’s feminist artwork Yo Mama depicts a woman holding a headless snake using this technique. Découpage is a form of this technique, which involves gluing together materials such as paper and photographs.

ANSWER: collage [prompt on découpage or photomontage by asking “can you be less specific?”]
