I thought I had tasted ‘art’ until this box was handed out to me by Selassie (@midunu).
The taste, packaging and the fact that it is made by her right in Ghana erupted my sweet tooth.
Spongy carrot cake.

Body Intimate[d]
Journeying onward from her Chale Wote 2016 performance, Y K O Tetteh follows her curiosity to a new set of questions about the intersection between performativity, the (black) (female) body, and our intimate relationship with ourselves. In this piece she brings participants into the performance of body intimacy stories, and asks them to join her in her performance-research.
Y K O Tetteh
Yvette Y K O Tetteh (b. 1992) is a British-born Ghanaian artist and aspiring farmer. She holds a BA in Cultural Anthropology, and French, from Stanford University (CA, USA.) Her work is centred on the black body, and the intersection of intimacy, reserve, and performativity. Her astrological signs are: Cancer Sun, Aries Moon, and Gemini in Ascendant. This sums her up perfectly.
Yvette is based in Accra, Ghana.

‘Dumsor’
‘dumsor’ is a popular Ghanaian term which describes the erratic electric power outages the country faces.
Ama is a caterer aspiring to be a certified JHS(Junior High School) teacher. She has experienced ‘dumsor’ on the eve of her final examinations. And not deterred by the space of darkness and gloom, she uses a battery powered LED lamp which doubles as a poor source of luminance to her bathroom and place of study.

“Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. This is my only girl. So I don’t care what it takes to protect her. You can call it what you want to call it. As long as you treat her the same way I treat her, like my princess, I don’t mind.” – A proud father.

Beautiful Accra.
I shot this by late sunset in Accra, the capital city of Ghana – West Africa. The architecture coupled with the blue skyline and sunset inspired me.
