The incredible Simone Leigh exhibit comes to an end at LACMA and CAAM on January 20, so catch the show before then and take advantage of the additional programming, like this screening, conversation, and performance celebrating Black women in film. The screening of the film Diva, which follows a singer who chooses to "keep her art on her own terms," will be followed by a performance by classical vocalist Abiodun Koya and a post-screening conversation between guest curator Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and scholar, curator, and critic Tiffany Barber.
