The afro-diasporic siblings, mulowayi and mapenzi, are Las Nietas de Nonó. In their creative process, they evoke ancestral memory through personal archives. Their practice incorporates performance, found objects, organic materials, ecology, fiction, video, and installation.

In 2022, their first solo show, Posibles Escenarios, Vol. 1 LNN was presented at Artists Space, New York, a grouping of newly commissioned multimedia works that extended Las Nietas’ explorations of themes such as processes of expropriation and colonial violence against Black communities and the development of microhistories in relation to geopolitics. They created Ilustraciones de la Mecánica in 2016, a multimedia installation that was later commissioned by the 10th Berlin Biennale (2018) and the 79th Whitney Biennial (2019).

They have received the Latinx Artist Fellowship from the US Latinx Art Forum (2022), the Rome Prize in Visual Art from the American Academy in Rome (2022), the United States Artist Award (2018), The Art of Change from the Ford Foundation (2017), and the Global Arts Fund from the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice (2017 & 2020). Their art has been shown in Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, England, Germany, Italy, Norway, Scotland, and the United States.

In 2019, they co-founded Parceleras Afrocaribeñas, an organization run by Black womxn, where spaces for environmental and racial justice are created in the face of industrial developments that threaten their barrio of San Antón, Carolina, Boriken (Puerto Rico).
