Kehinde Wiley reimagined MTV’s iconic “Moon Person” statuette for the 2021 Video Music Awards and in honor of the network’s 40th anniversary. As a nod to that historic first broadcast, a full-sized version inspired by Wiley’s botanical take on the sculpture was also on display at the Kennedy Space Center’s Rocket Garden.
“Kehinde Wiley’s Moon Person sculpture represents inclusivity and diversity marked by the historical, environmental and nature relevance of the botanicals."
