Join us for an illuminating conversation between artist Simone Leigh and curators Rita Gonzalez and Naima J. Keith (LACMA) and Taylor Renee Aldridge (California African American Museum) as they explore the curatorial framework of the exhibition Simone Leigh. Gain insights into Leigh’s practice with a diverse array of ceramic, bronze, and video works that span her remarkable career, currently on view at the two institutions in Los Angeles.
