the haas brothers 2 afreak

This book celebrates the Afreaks series of sculptural furniture and objects, designed and created by The Haas Brothers and The Haas Sisters between 2014 and 2015 in South Africa and Los Angeles.

The Haas Brothers' second book in the series features the fantastical hand-beaded and bronze animal sculptures known as Afreaks. These sculptures were produced in South Africa, in collaboration with a group of traditional bead artists in Khayelitsha, a segregated township outside of Cape Town.

The Afreaks embody the spirit of nonconformity and individuality, standing out like all freaks. The book not only showcases these sculptures but also chronicles the emotional and life-changing journey of creating them with the close-knit group of women who affectionately called themselves the Haas Sisters.

Simon Haas, Emily Tracy-Haas, and Chee Pearlman authored this publication, with an introduction by Zesty Meyers and Evan Snyderman.
