22 April 2021 - 1 March 2022

Ibrahim Mahama's 57 Forms of Liberty is on show as part of the group exhibition ‘The Musical Brain’, opening at The High Line, New York, in April 2021.

The commission is inspired by a rusted smokestack the artist saw at a locomotive workshop in Sekondi, Ghana that now has a tree growing from its mouth.

57 Forms of Liberty will be installed in the Northern Spur Preserve on the park near 16th Street, a location with visible reminders of High Line’s own industrial past.
