Prisca MUNKENI LAFURIE is an exceptionally talented artist who explores an artistic approach focused on identity inquiries surrounding oral tradition. Moreover, the crux of her work simultaneously questions the positive or negative transformative processes of human daily life through various aspects of assimilation, enculturation, and acculturation to better align with her authentic self. The standout feature of her creations lies in seamlessly blending virtual reality with the real world in her masterpieces, which brings a unique dimension to her composition and style.
In light of the above, in today’s world, entire bodies of civilizations are disappearing before our eyes due to the lack of suitable recipients to transmit knowledge. Through her philosophy, Prisca MUNKENI reinvents an identity construction of her own history by evoking the circumstances of her birth and the environment in which she grew up, aspects that remain in the drawer of history without deeply remembered details. Through her art, she establishes a correlation between culture, memories, and oral tradition as the foundation for transmitting knowledge through narratives of the origins of peoples—such as tales, mythologies, and legends.
