Ghana-
Holding intriguing themes, Ghanian artist Bernard Akoi Jackson interrogates post-colonial African identities, through make-shift memorials and performative rituals of the mundane. He employs critical absurdity to confront the complexities of his specific #cultural moment.
In his work, he treats jest as profoundly as clout, such that a balanced dose of the two become the core of his expression. In a similar manner, his writing tracks the development of contemporary visual art and culture in a largely poetic and jovial way.
