Brimming with boldly colored photographs and reproductions this book focuses on Ehikhamenor's most recent work such as Daydream Esoterica Saints and Sanctums Still Standing and A Biography of the Forgotten investigating them through a transcultural analysis of mobility circulation networks and connectivity.
