Her terracotta sculptures often involve figures interacting with one another or conveying emotion with their facial expressions. She draws from her Colombian family's immigration story to tell a larger cultural history of hybridization that is a result of migration. Leilah Babiryewas forced to flee Uganda when she was outed as a lesbian by a local newspaper. She sought asylum in the United States, when she was threatened by her country's virulent homophobic laws. Babirye's work often amplifies the disparity between the patriarchal systems of British colonialization and the matriarchal clan systems of historical Uganda. In addition to clay, she uses wood and found objects, including debris found on the streets. Courtney M. Leonardis an artist and filmmaker, of the Shinnecock nation, which occupied the territory between Long Island and Connecticut. Leonard's work is an exploration and documentation of historical ties to place and sustainability. In collaboration with national and international museums, cultural institutions, and indigenous communities, Leonard's practice investigates narratives of cultural viability as a reflection of environmental record.
