The Institute of Contemporary Art strives to share the pleasures of reflection, inspiration, provocation, and imagination that contemporary art offers through public access to art, artists, and the creative process. Our channel includes interviews with artists, studio visits, documentation of live talks and other events, exhibition previews, and advice or inspiration from artists.

I saw your bus in Austin, TX at the sculpture garden. It was moving and beautiful. The level of detail was amazing to me. I wish I could have sat/stayed there longer, taking it all in.
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.
A very strong exhibit at the ICA. I visited several times, a couple of times with a group and we all agreed that Yu-Wen Wu's work need (and deserved) a larger space. Good work, best of luck in the future.
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!
Congratulations to Cicely! And Thank you for this video. Her work is so unique and interesting, and her words were really inspiring. Yes, we must create!
I met his brother in Brooklyn before he was making records and I went up to him and told him he’s gonna make it. Then years later I had the pleasure of being in one of his videos call microphone fiend peace to God This is a Princz from Medina
Ich habe in England, Newcastle die Videoinstallation Precarity gesehen und war absolut begeistert es hat mich so tief berührt wie bis jetzt noch kein andere Film. Der geht mir nicht aus dem Kopf .Ich finde es sehr sehr schade dass es keine Vorführungen in Deutschland gibt!
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
