SFAI Visiting Artist Lecture: Simone Leigh

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Simone Leigh engages in an object-based, sculptural exploration of black female

subjectivity. Her ongoing ethnographic practice, informed by both ancient African

and African American object-making, bridges abstracted forms with iconic

images. In projects that include terracotta and porcelain female busts, large-scale

installations, and performances, Leigh brings a remarkable sense of craft and a

potent investigation of female identity to Afro-futurist tableaux. She presented a

solo exhibition at The Kitchen, New York, and received a Creative Capital Grant in

2012.
