This monograph was made possible by a grant from the CNAP awarded to Sophie Orlando for research on Sonia Boyce in 2013.

The Villa Arson hosted Sonia Boyce for a residency and a subsequent exhibition (funded by the Arts Council and the Villa Arson).

We are very grateful to Tony Fisher and Santi Quesada for their permission to reproduce Jean Fisher's essay « For You Only You : the Return of the Troubadour », first published in Paul Bonaventura (ed.) For You, Only You : a project by Sonia Boyce , Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art (Oxford University, 2007).

Our utmost gratitude goes to all those who made contributions through intense and fruitful interactions. Thank you so much Sonia Boyce for your trust in the development of this project.
