Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh

Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh academically trained as an artist and now practices as a curator and critic based in Kumasi, Ghana. Ohene-Ayeh’s work is compelled by the radical hope proposed by artist-pedagogue karî’kạchä seid’ou to “transform art from the status of commodity to gift”. Ohene-Ayeh led the curatorial team for Akutia: Blindfolding the Sun and the Poetics of Peace (A Retrospective of Agyeman Ossei ‘Dota’) organised by Savannah Centre for Contemporary Art (SCCA) Tamale and Red Clay in Ghana (2020-2021). In the framework of decoso,  Ohene-Ayeh collectively works on the study Reflexive Tema and Global Elsewheres, enabled through the “Deviant Practice” Research Fellowship of Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven.
