Theresah Ankomah (b.1989) is an artist who lives and works in Accra, Ghana. Her artistic expressions manifest in performative installations, sculpture, weaving, photography, and basketry: painting and printmaking. Ankomah’s work explores the intricacies of ‘weaving’ through complexities of ‘craft’ about trade and how underpinning issues of geopolitics, gender, and capitalism resonate in the everyday usage of materials and objects. Through her work, weaving moves beyond the confinement of beauty, name-tagging such as ‘Feminist works’, primitive and the functionality of objects to explore more complex issues such as consumerism, geopolitics, gender, identity and capitalism. She vehemently believes that everyday things are not innocent in themselves but coexist within a physical space with seen and unseen collaborators. She lives through layers of processes her materials go through from the start till the end. In her work, weaving captures the concept of conceiving one’s identity by combining separate entities into a disjoint body of work, by assembling and disassembling the of the objects (woven objects), splitting and collaging, joining and twisting. Her body of work appropriates individual weaves collected from various encounters, people's experiences and narratives. Theresah has a background in Sculpture and holds a Bachelor of Fine Art and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from the Department of Painting and Sculpture of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana.
