ECHOES Episode 4
Simone Leigh: Sovereignty
“The work is a gateway, one that bridges extracted projections of African aesthetic realities by refocusing upon the origins of Black exterior expression. Those spaces—just like bodies—hold stories, memories, and dreams. The transformation of this pavilion foreshadowed how this experience would find me in a house of discourses. But this time, there could be a more nuanced conversation about the interiority of Black female consciousness.”
Monumental Futures
TK Smith maps a trajectory of interventions toward the articulation of a monument aesthetic for the African diaspora.
