Currently on display at the New Museum in New York, \u201cThe Waiting Room\u201d serves as an investigation of the urgency, agency and intervention practiced by black women when faced with an overall institutionalised deferral and debasement towards their illnesses.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 43.6574074074% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BILg6vtBsbU\/\" target=\"_blank\">As a response to recent violent events, the series of #SimoneLeigh Care Sessions has been expanded to include a weekly guided meditation in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter.

The care sessions consist of free workshops and healing treatments that focus on a range of homeopathic services like massage and acupuncture. Public programmes on the other hand, are ticketed events that shed light on topics such as abortion and bodily toxicity. Underground partnerships are closed to community members and aim to provide specialised workshops in a safe, intimate space for museum partners only. This is not Leigh\u2019s first creative analysis of the intersection between medicine and race, and can be considered a continuation of her 2014 Creative Time project \u201cFree People\u2019s Medical Clinic\u201d.
