Nigerian-born, Los Angeles–based artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby moved to the US at the age of 17 (after winning the green card lottery in her home town) to train as a painter at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and, later, Yale University. Here, as in many of her portraits, Crosby gives an intimate portrayal of her interracial marriage and day-to-day life in America. She combines photo-transfer processes with painting and collaged fabrics, fusing Nigerian and American materials, images, and cultural traditions. Learn about Crosby and other immigrant artists: mo.ma/crossingborders. Our digital exhibition “Crossing Borders,” presented as part of our #CitizensBorders initiative, showcases works from MoMA’s collection by artists who immigrated to the U.S., often as refugees in search of safe haven. Explore at mo.ma/crossingborders [Njideka Akunyili Crosby (b. Nigeria, 1983). “And We Begin to Let Go.” c. 2013. Acrylic, pastel, charcoal, collage, Xerox transfers, and marble dust on paper.
