ibrahim mahama

ibrahim mahama is an artist who lives and works in accra, kumasi and tamale, ghana. he started his practice through his interest in the history of materials and architecture. failure and delay through specific forms always inform his choice of sites, which, he believes, the works do not only occupy but are also occupied within the works/objects. his work has been included in the 56, 57 and 58 venice biennale, documenta 14 athens and kassel, and orderly disorderly, accra, among others. in march 2019, mahama opened SCCA tamale, an artist-run space built and dedicated to retrospectives of practices which emerged from the 20th century.
