We are so excited about our Artist-in-Residence Open Studios Sunday, November 18, welcoming this year’s 2012–13 artists Steffani Jemison, Jeniffer Packer, and Cullen Washington Jr.! In light of welcoming this year’s artists-in-residence, we wanted to highlight some quasi-vintage footage from last year’s group of artists-in-residence: Njideka Akunyili, Meleko Mokgosi, and Xaviera Simmons!

Check out these behind-the-scenes interviews as they talk a little bit about their work for Primary Sources and their experience with the Artist-in Residence program.

Don’t miss the bloopers at the end!

Conceived at the formation of the Museum over 40 years ago, the Artist-in-Residence Program remains central to The Studio Museum in Harlem’s mission.
