Emmanuel Aggrey Tieku: Building New Worlds from Discarded Textiles
A New Visual Language for a Global Crisis
Aggrey’s work is situated at the intersection of past and future, memory and reinvention. It bridges Ghanaian traditions with global challenges, offering a new visual language to address pressing concerns such as textile waste, environmental degradation, and fractured social identities. His art doesn’t just critique—it proposes. Through methodical transformation of the discarded, Emmanuel Aggrey Tieku challenges us to confront what we throw away, not just materially but morally—and inspires us to reimagine what we can rebuild.

Michael Gah: Stitching Stories from Waste to Wonder
Michael Gah’s journey into the art world is more than a personal story—it's a testament to how place, purpose, and passion can come together to fuel a movement. Born in 1995 in Accra, Ghana, Gah grew up mere steps from the shoreline, where the vivid blues of the Atlantic were increasingly met with the synthetic hues of discarded textiles. This daily confrontation with environmental degradation left an indelible mark on him. Rather than turn away, he turned it into art.
