Simone Leigh: Sovereignty / Pavilion of the USA at Venice Art Biennale 2022.

For ‘Sovereignty,’ the exhibition in the U.S. Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale of Art, artist Simone Leigh has created a new body of work: sculptures in bronze, ceramic and raffia placed inside and outside the pavilion that highlight the often unseen and unacknowledged labor and resilience of Black women.

  1. "often unseen and unacknowledged labor " I agree with unacknowledged but not unseen. No one can grow up in any culture without being bathed in the labor of women cradle to grave.

  2. Quite right. Some people just choose to ignore it.
