Ibrahim Mahama, 2020 Prinicpal Prince Claus Laureate

Ibrahim Mahama is a visual artist who is actively involved in improving social conditions. His powerful artworks use provocative materials and sites to examine and expose histories, uphold the role of labour, challenge authorities and criticise mismanagement of resources. Directly addressing lack of opportunities and facilities in his home region, he has set up an open access cultural centre and other social projects providing employment, education, studio space and creative activities.

I am in love with the commentary. Can anyone give me the name of the commentator? I live in the same city with Ibrahim Mahama. The commentary is classic and powerful.😍

The sacks sewn together in patchwork reminds me of Ablogboshie from the air. Ostensibly a slum but full of energy and people’s lives, loves, sorrows and deaths. Beautiful work, thank you.

This is sad and beautiful at the same time. I love this! Congratulations!
