Art Hoe Collective Meets Lorna Simpson



Amandla Stenberg and Mars from Art Hoe Collective meet with Brooklyn based artist Lorna Simpson, discussing the inspiration behind the #ArtHoe movement and how it relates to Simpson’s work.

Art Hoe Collective is an online platform providing young creatives of colour the opportunity to broadcast and share their artwork. Through social media the collective explore questions of race, gender and sexuality.

“It’s become a movement about self-acceptance and self-love as artwork” – Amandla Stenberg of Art Hoe Collective

Often using found materials within her work, Lorna Simpson similarly deals with the issues of discrimination and marginalisation that exist in mainstream society. Drawing comparisons between their motivations and artwork, Simpson, Amandla Stenberg and Mars from Art Hoe Collective share their experiences of working as artists.

With music by Willow Smith (also of Art Hoe Collective) and Pools.

Lorna Simpson’s work is on display in Artist and Society at Tate Modern: http://goo.gl/UaIASv

  1. I don't know…I get a bit tired of hearing about how people of color's art is marginalized.  Would you say that artists of color are marginalized in the music world?  What about comedy?  What about dance?  In the fine art world., if you're good, ambitious and your timing is right, you'll get recognized.  So, with this in mind, here's a list of prominent living black visual artists, just off the top of my head: Kara Walker, Kerry James Marshall, Martin Puryear, Kehinde Wiley, Glenn Ligon, Mickalene Thomas, Julie Mehretu, Mark Bradford, Betty Saar and….Lorna Simpson. And here's another fact: many, many visual artists, regardless of their color, are not recognized until after they die.  So if you're in the game solely for the attention that's fine, but remember you may end up being frustrated.  You may not be in the right place at the right time, despite your talent.  Just the way it is, snowflakes.  You're not the center of the universe.

  2. its sad to see how the entire movement has been whitewashed and turned into an aesthetic for people clothing. Its like nobody knows the meaning anymore.
