A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIX PLAGUES by Edna Bonhomme
The Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant selected Edna Bonhomme as a 2023 Grantee in the category of Short-Form Writing. The grant program “supports writing about contemporary art and aims to ensure that critical writing remains a valued mode of engaging with the visual arts…uplift[ing] the diverse perspectives of writers whose fine-tuned attention to the content and context of contemporary art-making helps to keep artists at the center of cultural conversations and debates—where they belong.” Bonhomme will write “a series of essays animating the reproductive lives of people of African descent as portrayed by contemporary Black feminist artists, filmmakers, and sages.” Atria/One Signal Publishers will publish Bonhomme’s forthcoming nonfiction debut, A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIX PLAGUES, on December 3, 2024.
