Simone Leigh - Sentinel IV’ (2020) Color of Change On 30 June 2020, Simone Leigh debuted a new bronze sculpture, ‘Sentinel IV’ (2020), created to benefit the nonprofit organization Color Of Change in its efforts to combat racial injustice in the United States. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of the work were donated to the progressive civil rights advocacy group. The ‘Sentinel IV’ is a 20-inch-tall cast bronze edition derived from the monumental ‘parent’ sculpture of the same name.

Leigh’s practice is informed by her ongoing exploration of Black femme subjectivity, and her objects often employ materials and forms traditionally associated with African and African American art and material culture. Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial justice organization. As a national online force driven by millions of members, Color Of Change moves decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.
