SENAM OKUDZETO

Senam Okudzeto considers herself a post-national artist as she lives and works in the USA, Europe and West Africa. Although drawing is central to her work, Okudzeto’s conceptual practice includes performance, sculpture, video installation and social sculpture. She is the founder and executive director of Art in Social Structures, a Ghana-based NGO that supports heritage and education in the arts. Her recent work has been focused towards investigating material culture and social history. Last autumn, her work has been included in the 14th Istanbul Biennial. Currently, Senam Okudzeto is the Edith Bloom/Jesse Howard, Jr. Rome Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Rome and will participate in the Academy's performative exhibition "Across the Board: Parts of a Whole", that will be opened on February 9.

In 2011, Okudzeto participated in our Global Art symposium. See her lecture below.
