Home Actress Lupita Nyong’o HD Photos and Wallpapers June 2023 Lupita Nyong'o Instagram - How Misha Japanwala Made My #Tonys Look ❤️: When I saw FAT HAM on Broadway, I left the theater thrilled with how it told such a fun and moving story about BELONGING. A LACK of belonging can come with SHAME and wishing you were someBODY else. With my look last night, I felt the work of Fat Ham playwright, James Ijames and the artist who molded my breastplate, @mishajapanwala were in a delightful conversation with one another. Misha Japanwala’s work molding BODIES which all BELONG exactly as they are, has moved me deeply and I hope her message of RADICAL SELF-ACCEPTANCE may find a home with you too. 🫶🏿 🎶: On The Dance Floor (Instrumental) by BLVKSHP

🖌️HENNA ART INSPIRATION:
We had the words sculptural, sharp & solid as our guides to compliment Misha’s work. And then I visited the Kenyan artist, Wangechi Mutu’s exhibition entitled INTERTWINED, and it all solidified for us! Wangechi, like Misha interrogates the representation of the female body, and in her piece, In Two Canoe the human body morphs into the plant body, exploring a fantastical hybridity that alludes to “the fertility, femininity and symbiosis captured in the object’s very doubled form.” So, we went with a leaves motif because of their ability to be both geometric and organic. They grow within the bounds of a very elaborate system and are still able to improvise to INSIST on their survival and growth, and that’s exactly what I am keen to do in this season of my life.

There’s also a quiet homage to the kofia/kufi worn in both our East African and South Asian cultures as well as it being a symbol of African-American pride – a salute to our new homeland!

Lupita Nyong’o Instagram – A SHAMELESS OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE | Tony Awards 2023

Honored, humbled, strengthened and energized to don this breastplate created by @mishajapanwala, which she cast and molded of my body.

Misha Japanwala is a Pakistani artist and fashion designer, whose work is rooted in the rejection and deconstruction of external shame attached to one’s body. In her artistic process, she creates a realistic and true record of a person’s body as an act of resistance and celebration, and an insistence on being allowed to exist freely in our bodies.

She writes, “The word ‘beghairat’ (translation: shameless) has become an anchor in my practice; thousands of people have used it to describe me and the work I create, in an effort to insult and shame me into silence. In reclaiming the word and understanding that the rejection of others’ narrow definitions of shame is one of the most powerful tools for liberation, I’ve come to deeply appreciate and respect what living a life of shamelessness truly means. My craft pertains to documenting our existence in the most truthful way I possibly can — I change nothing about the body and how it looks.I think that act of surrendering and allowing our bodies to simply be, is such a beautiful and powerful thing.”

Misha, thank you for this special opportunity to BE EXACTLY HERE, IN THIS BODY NOW. Follow her (@MishaJapanwala ) to learn more. Her extraordinary work, Beghairati Ki Nishaani: Traces of Shamelessness, is on view now at @hannahtraoregallery in New York City until July 30th.
