Description: "Combining aspects of performance, weaving, sculpture and installation that draw upon his background, Igshaan Adams<U+fffd>ʻ́ś practice is an ongoing, personal investigation into identity and intersectionality. The quiet activism of his work speaks to his experiences of racial, religious and sexual liminality.
