Manage episode 361961575 series 3255099
Haitian-born, New York sculptor Jessica Jean-Baptiste, sits down with us to discuss her practice, her evolution as an artist and her exclusive collection for the AphroChic Art Shop. In the tradition of artists such as Edmonia Lewis, Elizabeth Catlett and Augusta Savage, Baptiste's latest works, The Keisha and Jamal Busts are a celebration of the beauty of Black life and Black bodies. These new works present a Black man without conflict, and a Black woman at peace. Simple images, yet revolutionary pieces by Baptiste, in their rejection of the story of Black America that is commonly told.
Jessica Jean-Baptiste is featured in Issue No. 11 of AphroChic magazine in the story, The Question is In The Answer.
