Coreen Simpson’s first monograph honours decades of Black self-fashioning

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Jasmine Weber’s Hyperallergic review examined the first monograph devoted to Coreen Simpson, published in Aperture’s Vision & Justice series. Covering street portraits, nightlife and celebrity photographs, the book placed her decades-long documentation of Black style alongside her work as a jewellery designer. Weber connected Simpson’s intimate, dignified portrayals to wider diasporic photographic traditions, showing how everyday self-presentation can become a sustained form of cultural memory.
