Artist's Conversation Glenn Ligon with Darby English

For nearly two decades, Glenn Ligon has deconstructed and destabilized representations of race, sexuality, and identity through his paintings, photography, and installation work. In this public conversation, Ligon discusses his work and its sources with Darby English, an assistant professor of art history at the University of Chicago and a contributor to the catalogue of Glenn Ligon: Some Changes.
