THERESAH ANKOMAH

Theresah Ankomah (b. 1991, Accra, Ghana) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the aesthetics of the African market to comment on trade, globalization, and social interaction.

Ankomah’s practice involves gathering used shipping baskets and weaving them into new sculptural forms, often layering them with found textiles. Her repetitive process serves as a commentary on the endurance of cultural identity within modern trade networks.

She holds a BFA from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi. Her work has been showcased in multiple international exhibitions and continues to challenge the definitions of contemporary African sculpture.
