The second title in Aperture's Vision & Justice Book Series, created and coedited by Drs. Sarah Lewis, Leigh Raiford, and Deborah Willis, showcases the luminous, wide-ranging contributions of an essential artist.
Coreen Simpson--photographer, writer, jeweler--has done it all. Working for publications such as Essence, Unique New York, and The Village Voice, from the late 1970s onward, Simpson covered New York's art and fashion scenes, producing portraits of a wide range of Black artists, literary figures, and celebrities. Her iconic jewelry, the Black Cameo, has been worn by everyone from the model Iman to civil-rights leader Rosa Parks.
This long-awaited volume, Simpson's first, features her celebrated B-Boys series--portraits of young people coming of age during the early years of hip-hop--as well as her experiments with collage and other formal interventions. An assortment of essays and an extended interview offer powerful reflections on Simpson's unique blend of portraiture, sartorial politics, and her riveting story of an intrepid life in journalism, art, and fashion.
