New statue installation on Penn’s campus!

Visual Artist Simone Leigh, has recently installed an edition of her brickhouse monument. She writes, “I operate in an auto-ethnographic way, in which I research African and diaspora art objects, material culture and philosophies. Often my work is sparked by underlining texts from Black feminist thinkers. Brick House is not a portrait. It brings disparate forms together in a way that collapses time. I would describe this way of building sculpture as ‘critical fabulation'”
