A thatch-roofed building with brick walls and large wooden pillars surrounds a sculpture resembling a figure with a disc-shaped head, set among trees and a gravel pathway under a partly cloudy sky.

The ICA is selected to commission the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale with a historic presentation of Simone Leigh, the first Black woman to represent the United States. The works go on view in Boston in 2023 as part of a national tour survey of Leigh’s work.
