The Artist’s Voice: Firelei Báez
One of the most exciting painters of her generation, Firelei Báez makes work that explores the multilayered legacy of colonial histories and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and beyond. Her exuberant paintings feature finely wrought, complex, and layered uses of pattern, decoration, and saturated color, often overlaid on maps made during colonial rule in the Americas. On the opening night of her first North American museum survey, Báez looks back at her remarkable artistic practice, including her 2021 ICA Watershed installation. Báez is joined by Julie Crooks, Curator of the Arts of Global Africa and Diaspora at the Art Gallery of Ontario; and Ruth Erickson, Barbara Lee Chief Curator at the ICA.

    I remember being touched by Purple when I saw it many, many years ago. Seeing this interview with John Akomfrah and scenes from the film almost brings me to tears, reminding me of the deep emotion I felt about our environment, planet, and the human population's relationship to our world. I'm not sure why, but this piece really make me feel like I should be doing something different with my life. It is truly that moving and touches something deeply essential about being alive on a complex environmental planet being transformed by industrialization over the last two centuries.

    Wow! So no Black women curators on this panel to talk about Simone's works since she couldn't be there? For me (as a Black woman artist) this was more of a generic "book report" from the perspective of white women. More of the same ole same ole... Just sayin...

    I had the great fortune to view this artwork during my visit in summer of 2019, as a visitor from Sweden. Truly one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen, and honestly life-changing. I mean, I still think about it, four years later, enough to search it on youtube. Thank you for the amazing exhibit that honestly blew me away!

    Lawson inspired me to find a voice in photography. Being a complete amateur of the craft, I fell in love with the exhibition here in Atlanta after seeing it a few weeks ago. I could not take my eyes off the photos in the museum. Being an African American female who is also a twin like Lawson, I feel her work spoke to me to use my eye for detail in this way. If I could let her know myself that I was moved from deep within by her work, it would be a day of glory. She is the answer to the unspoken world of black life. Thank you D. Lawson. Carter
