Kezia Ouomoye’s curatorial practice is centred on mobility, mentorship, production, and the logistical and operational processes of exhibition-making, approaching exhibitions themselves as material and method. Through this lens, she reimagines how exhibitions function beyond display—engaging questions of authorship, process, and public engagement.
She is the Founder and Senior Editor of The Neoteric, an emerging art, publishing, and media enterprise dedicated to documenting and advancing contemporary cultural discourse, and the Founder and Director of The Cradle Mentorship Program, a young initiative supporting the professional and intellectual development of emerging and mid-career artists.
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN
A group exhibition by Paige Grayson and Theodora Tetteh
Venue: The Museum of Science and Technology Accra, Ghana
Date: 14th- 28th June 2024
“When The Lights Go Down” unveils two eclectic artists, Paige Grayson from the USA and Theodora Tetteh (Norkai) from Ghana, who showcase tales of concealed battles and buried memories, mirroring the theatrical shift when darkness envelops the stage. Viewers are beckoned to explore convoluted emotional panorama and inner reflections through their creations. Grayson’s pieces defy conventional depictions of femininity, while Norkai’s art illuminates the complicated paths of our inner monologues. This collaborative exhibition promises a metamorphic journey, nurturing empathy and subtle iconographic messages.
THE APERTURE OF FATE AND FORTUNE
A solo exhibition by Jewel Teiko Eklu
Venue: City Galleria Accra, Ghana
13th – 23rd April 2023
Jewel Teiko Eklu presents a constellation of paintings bordering on myths, fantasies and playful representations of the Global gambling industry synonymous with taking a chance at life and the uncertainty and arbitrary events that come with it. The paintings form part of a series Eklu is developing to portray the daily gambling activities of ordinary people and non-representational and ludic iconographies of serendipitous scenes.
HULU SHINYOO
A Solo Exhibition By Michael Addae
Venue: Museum of Science and Technology Accra, Ghana
Date: 27 Oct 2022 – 17 Nov 2022
Michael Addae is a Ghanaian multimedia artist based in Accra.
His debut solo exhibition, themed on the sunset-the period
when daylight fades- adapts to the fluid and aesthetic milieu of
said occurrence, to display a visual narration of his practice
through time, transition and transformation. Drawing from this
mundane period yet glorious combination of nature, the
paintings focus on funneling portraits, symbolical
representations of figures, and suggestive abstractions. The
exhibition could be described as an Inverse retrospective, not
necessarily looking back and celebrating an entire oeuvre or
legacy; but commemorating a beginning. In hopes of treating
art viewers to a chronological stream of ideas developed over
time, Addae admonishes as to take a peek into his evolutionary
future.
MONOLOGUE OF VOICES
A group exhibition (16 Artists)
Venue: The Sekondi Post office, The Western regional library Sekondi, European town and House number 13/10, Maxwell Road.
16th July 2021 – 10th September 2021
Monologue of Voices underlies the past, present, and future
identity of the city, occupying organic (the streets and
neighbourhoods of European Town) and formal spaces (the
Sekondi library and post office). These spaces were not just
occupied by art, but Monologue of Voices generated participatory relationships among staff members, visitors and the Sekondi community. The exhibition opened new ways for diverse dialogue and collaborators to engaged in various stages of the exhibition development process. From the aged to children, government workers, elders of the royal house of Sekondi and ordinary citizens, Monologue of Voices encouraged fluid and equitable participation for people to express themselves and interact with institutional practice.
