Le Monde, 2025
In Le Monde, Philippe Dagen reflects on Lorraine O’Grady’s first solo exhibition in Paris, but also the last one she prepared herself, as she passed last December, 2024. Renowned as Mlle Bourgeoise Noire, O’Grady’s fearless performances and surrealist-infused works expose colonial contradictions and gendered power, cementing her legacy as a transformative voice in contemporary art.
