About her work in WOV II:
For “A Womb of Violet: Volume II”, Muldrow has contributed with a poem, “No more games to play”, and a portrait in collaboration with Kimani Munford (2019). Among other topics, the poem alludes to police abuse: “I think someone called the cops / 911 yes those are the opps / Enforcing laws that enable capitalism and continuous criminalization of the Earth body and human soul.” The photograph, with saturated oranges and greens, depicts the artist without clothes but covered in body paint, looking straight to the camera/audience.
