Description
Simone Leigh: A Groundbreaking Artist's Work Explores Community, Black Feminism and African Diasporic Traditions. This comprehensive monograph presents Simone Leigh's multimedia explorations of community, Black feminism and the traditions and material cultures of the African diaspora. Over two decades, Leigh has created artwork that situates questions of Black femme-identified subjectivity at the center of contemporary art discourse, addressing issues of race, beauty and community in visual and material culture. The publication includes substantial new scholarship, contributions from Leigh's collaborators and new scholars, as well as a conversation highlighting her voice. Generous and lushly illustrated plates showcase her critically acclaimed work, including pieces from the 59th Venice Biennale, alongside works made throughout her career. This monograph provides a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of Leigh's complex and profoundly moving work. Born in Chicago in 1967, Simone Leigh received a BA in fine art with a minor in philosophy from Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, in 1990.
