Sarah Lewis Instagram – The New York Times announced Coreen Simpson’s forthcoming monograph with our new Vision & Justice publishing imprint and she served in her portrait. That’s her.
As Coreen Simpson said, she deserves a book with gravitas on her work. She has for decades. The aim of the Vision and Justice Book Series is to correct injustices like these.
To change the narrative about who counts and who belongs, you need to protect the libraries from erasures. From omissions. There is good reason for why they are such a battleground today.
The aim of Vision and Justice Book Series, in partnership with Aperture Foundation, is to center the unheralded, yet landmark work of Black artists, scholars, and writers whose work has been central to understanding the role of images in generating equity and justice in America.
Deborah Willis, Leigh Raiford, and I are excited to be launching the Vision and Justice Book Series with an extraordinary advisory team and editors at Aperture.
The V&J series commences with three titles that celebrate a vanguard of image-makers and artistic legacies: Race Stories: Essays on the Power of Images, the first posthumous collection of writings by cultural historian, curator, and writer Maurice Berger (1956–2020); and two monographs that salute the unheralded, yet foundational work of Doug Harris and Coreen Simpson.
