A: #SergeAttukweiClottey (b. 1985) is known for his work that examines the powerful agency of everyday objects. Working across #installation, #performance, #photography and #sculpture, Clottey explores narratives of personal, family and collective histories often relating to trade and migration.

Based in #Accra and working internationally, Clottey, the creator of #Afrogallonism, an artistic concept that comments on consumption within modern Africa through the utilization of yellow gallon containers.

Through cutting, drilling, stitching and melting found materials, Clottey’s #sculpturalinstallations are bold assemblages that act as a means of inquiry into questions of form and history. As the founder of #Ghana’s #GoLokal performance collective, Clottey sees art as a way to transform society.

In August 2019 Clottey received the award of Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Brighton.
