Simone Cambridge (MA '24) spoke with UMass Fine Arts Center about contemporary art, Black diasporic studies, and the Bahamian artists who have inspired her work as a curator and art historian.

Co-curated by Ruthie Baker, an M.F.A. Studio Arts candidate, Simone Cambridge, an M.A. History of Art and Architecture candidate, and Olivia Haynes, a Ph.D. candidate in Afro- American Studies, FAINT/HIDDEN/SHROUDED: Contemplating Obscurity invites visitors to engage in patient and contemplative observation. Encouraging a measured pace, the exhibition prompts viewers to unravel the layers embedded within each work, honoring what has been concealed.
