Summary

In the 1970s, Nengudi became a member of a growing community of Los Angeles-based black artists involved in global political movements such as Black Power and feminism, using an assemblage technique to create sculptures, performances, videos, and installations that addressed identity politics. A former dancer, Nengudi began to design performances that merged assemblage with modern dance, creating a choreographed relationship between the movements of her body and those of sculptures constructed out of nylon mesh pantyhose. Over the course of her career, Nengudi has collaborated on these sculpture performances with Maren Hassinger, Ulysses Jenkins, Noah Purifoy, Franklin Parker, Houston Conwill, David Hammons, Betye Saar, and Barbara McCullough.
