Tschabalala Self: Make Room

This monograph Tschabalala Self: Make Room provides a comprehensive view of artist Tschabalala Self's work, featuring seven essays and an interview.

Born in Harlem in 1990, Tschabalala Self is an artist whose unique style is a fusion of painting and printmaking, which she uses as a medium to delve into perceptions of the Black body. Her artwork primarily features female forms, crafted through a blend of sewing, printing, and painting techniques. These techniques span various artistic and craft disciplines. Through the formal and conceptual elements of her work, Self aims to broaden her critical examination of identity and the potential for human growth and development.
