Building discourse around contemporary Black art.

About the Conversation
Nikita Gale and Mandy Harris Williams were the Fall 2021 guests of The Black Embodiments Studio Artist + Writer Initiative. Over the course of several months, they embarked on studio visits and conversations about their practices, with the specific goal of helping Williams develop two new pieces of writing about Gale’s practice. In this conversation, they work through some keywords that animate their thinking, from ruins, to preservation, to what Gale calls “the feminine urge to refuse to refurbish.”
