Brooklyn Talks: Simone Leigh on Nancy Elizabeth Prophet

Description

Saturday, April 12, 2–3:30 pm

Learn about the enduring legacy of sculptor Nancy Elizabeth Prophet in this conversation with artist Simone Leigh. As an Afro-Indigenous woman artist, Prophet pursued her practice in the face of entrenched racism and sexism within the art world. Our exhibition Nancy Elizabeth Prophet: I Will Not Bend an Inch—the first museum examination of this groundbreaking sculptor—honors her legacy with timely new scholarship. 

Leigh, a celebrated contemporary sculptor, contributed to the catalogue and the exhibition, which features one of her films. For this conversation on the ripples of Prophet’s practice, Leigh is joined by Catherine Morris, Sackler Senior Curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. After the talk, explore Nancy Elizabeth Prophet: I Will Not Bend an Inch in our Center for Feminist Art.
