"Outside the biennial, I ducked into this gallery for the striking “Strange Flesh,” where Ghanaian artist Na Chainkua Reindorf presented multiple paintings of Black Medusas; one image seared itself into my memory: a seated figure with elongated maroon-brown braids cascading like a waterfall as disembodied legs and arms peeked out from beneath, a vivid, unsettling meditation I couldn’t stop thinking about." - Kayla Stewart Kayla Stewart Kayla Stewart is an award-winning food and travel journalist.
