The first monograph for Leilah Babirye, foregrounding her artistic development, engagement with African sculpture and expansion of queer histories

Published with Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

The evocative, adorned sculptures--made from wood and ceramics--of Ugandan artist Leilah Babirye (born 1985) foreground the inventive reuse of debris. She repurposes the metal gears and chains of bicycles to create elaborate headdresses, jewelry and braids, and the rubber inner tubes of bicycle tires to form long tresses.
