Igshaan Adams: Weerhoud explores the intricate and poignant works of South African artist Igshaan Adams. Born in Bonteheuwel, Cape Town, Adams's art navigates the complexities of identity, culture, and religion.

The book features stunning illustrations of Adams's tapestries, revealing his ability to intertwine personal and communal narratives.

An essay by Alfred Hinkel adds depth with personal anecdotes, and an interview with Adams provides insight into his creative process. Igshaan Adams: Weerhoud offers a profound look at an artist who bridges cultural divides through his transformative art practice.
