Black, queer and bold: Kim Dacres’ sculptures make a powerful Paris debut

Harlem-based sculptor Kim Dacres brings her raw, unapologetic vision to Europe with “Crossroads Like This”, now on view at the Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery in Paris. Known for transforming discarded tyres into commanding forms, Dacres centres Black, queer and feminine identity in her work, shaping complex narratives of memory, resistance and cultural pride. From her Bronx studio to international acclaim, her voice is redefining what contemporary sculpture can say and who it represents. She spoke to us on arts24.
