Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumors
Wangechi Mutu's *Histology of the Different Classes of Uterine Tumors* is a series of twelve digital prints layered with mixed media collage that merges the biological with the fantastical, depicting hybrid female figures entwined with organic forms, medical imagery, and found materials. Drawing on the visual language of scientific illustration, Mutu subverts clinical detachment by transforming the medicalized female body into a site of power, beauty, and resistance. The work confronts histories of racial and gendered violence in medicine while celebrating the resilience and complexity of Black womanhood.
