The Nü Sensitivity Reader is an elaboration on the themes introduced in the Nü Sensitivity project. Conceived as an exhibition space in and of itself – the publication includes new texts, images and propositions by the artist, as well as notes and excerpts from some of Shaun’s favorite texts on blackness, subjectivity, and cultural production.
The zine accompanies the project The Nü Sensitivity Anthology, part of the annual program at ODD titled PRIVATELY curated by Cristina Bogdan.
