District Fray Magazine - Building a ‘Bundle House’ with Artist Nyugen E. Smith

Caribbean-American artist Nyugen E. Smith unpacks what it means to rebuild a home after crisis and what was lost in the African diaspora in his latest work, “Bundlehouse: Ancient Future Memory.” When Smith was selected for CulturalDC’s Capital Artist Residency, he was on a mission to make additions to his on-going “Bundlehouse” series. In reflecting on the Indigenous-Congolese Luba people, Smith takes influence from Luba ceremonial objects in his work, including Lukasa – the Luba memory board. Drawing on Lukasa, the artist expands on the idea of memory, depicting various identities of Black and African diasporic descendants.
