About The Artwork
The black-and-white palette is a favorite of mine, more so because, beyond aesthetics, it suitably captures the black-and-whiteness of our colonial legacy. I was coming of age and taught with black slates and boards upon which we wrote with white chalk in schools that indiscriminately flogged students for speaking what was dismissed as "vernacular." Schools that frowned at anything indigenous, anything "traditional." It is usually that tension of opposition—that conflict—that accompanies my work. Numbers, letters, and symbols are some of the many codified ways through which the foundation of knowledge has been translated and ever since understood. For me, knowledge is nothing without an understanding of the laws, mechanisms, and mysteries that embody it. It is also nothing without the ability to bring it to light.

Nyornuwofia Agorsor (B. 1983) is a Ghanaian Painter. She is also a Musician (Vocalist, Instrumentalist, Song writer, Composer and Performer). Being largely an autodidact, she supplements her skill with studies at the studio of Kofi Agorsor. She believes in the essence of quality family moments and spends a great deal of her time sharing both artistic and academic knowledge with her kids. Her work largely dwells on the African Knowledge System of education where the mind of a student is trained and tuned to bring out the creative genius in every soul. She also believes that “There is an urgent need for Africa to change its servitude system of education which does not encourage practicality and training of the minds that will bring out the creative generative minds in our societies who will exploit and add value to our human and natural resources”. Nyornuwofia is the lead Vocalist of the Agorsor Band.
