Throughout his career, Nii Obodai has documented the complexity of his world through photography, audio, and text. He is particularly passionate about photography as a medium for recording and celebrating the unseen and unexpected dynamics of everyday life on the African continent. His work explores our complex relationships with the environment and with one another. His deep interest in how the past is remembered and the photographers role in that process stems in part from aphantasia, a condition which prevents him from forming images in his mind. Photography has become the means by which Nii Obodai remembers the past and conjures the present.<\/p>\n<p>In 1998 he co-established Nuku Caf\u00e9 in Accra, a vibrant space for contemporary artists committed to a socially and politically conscious practice. It has evolved into Nuku Studio, which engages in collaborative academic research projects and organizes an annual programme of workshops aimed at developing photographic and visual communication skills. The studio also founded the eponymous Nuku Photo Festival, Ghana\u2019s first photography festival.<\/p>\n<p>Nii Obodai\u2019s work has been exhibited at the Addis Ababa Festival (Ethiopia), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York, USA), Bamako Encounters (Bamako, Mali), Alliance Fran\u00e7aise (Accra, Ghana), Whitworth Art Gallery (Manchester, UK) The Centro Cultural Franco-Mo\u00e7ambicano (Mozambique), Moesegaard Museum (Aarhus, Denmark) and Beverly Art Gallery (Beverly, UK).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education Advisory Board<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":20169,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advisory-board"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HANGAR - Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Art\u00edstica - Francis Nii Obodai Proven\u00e7al<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Exposi\u00e7\u00f5es, Workshops, Ateliers.
