Celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month / Art Lecture and Workshop with Liz Ndoye- Featured Artist Leilah Babirye

our many wonderful contemporary LGBTQ artists.
June 7 during our first class, we will look at the art of Leilah Babirye born 1985 is an
Ugandan artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Outed in her native country
as a lesbian and underground LGBTQ+ activist, Babirye’s work is of large-scale
ceramics, wooden sculptures, African masks, as well as drawings and paintings on
paper. Students will be working with clay and found objects to make their own
sculpture inspired by Babiyre’s astonishing sculpture.
