This month, we have a dialogue between Mia Imani Harrison and Nzinga Simmons. Both wrote reviews of Simone Leigh’s work-Simmons on the Hugo Boss Prize exhibition, Loophole of Retreat in 2019, and Imani Harrison on Sovereignty, Leigh's groundbreaking installation in the 2022 Venice Biennale, The Milk of Dreams.
In this conversation from 2022, Simmons and Imani Harrison key in on how profoundly important experiencing Leigh’s work in person was for each of them, as well as approaches from Leigh’s practice people can bring into their daily lives.
The texts they are discussing are linked in the description, as well as a link to buy the physical issues in which they appear.
