Lorna Simpson's work acts as an archive of African American lives, utilizing old photographs and material culture to discuss race, identity, and who gets to tell history.
Through her upcoming exhibition, Simpson reclaims the narrative of Black figures like Ed Bush, emphasizing their stories amid often overshadowing historical contexts.
She challenges the traditional storytelling frameworks by resurfacing the stories of marginalized voices, showcasing the intersection of media influences and personal histories in her art.
Simpson's artworks, inspired by historical texts, engage deeply with themes of identity and representation, drawing attention to overlooked narratives of African Americans.
