Drawing from a multifaceted life and the diverse perspectives of his surroundings, he translates lived experience into expressive images, installations, and artistic interventions.  <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/>For Nkrumah, empowerment and imagination are the cornerstones of his practice. Through alternative narratives infused with elements of science fiction, fantasy, and technology, he reimagines the diverse and complex histories, cultural practices, and lived experiences of Black communities\u2014placing them in a bold, future-oriented context. His work opens up (Afro)futuristic, utopian spaces that invite viewers to dream, question, and re-envision.<br\/>Spanning painting, drawing, and digital media, Nkrumah\u2019s artistic expression goes beyond the visual. He also considers the medium and the use of exhibition space as powerful tools for dismantling barriers and reshaping narratives.<br\/>As part of africologneLOCAL, Nando Nkrumah will present a selection of his works and invite visitors\u2014especially members of the Black and Afro-diasporic community\u2014to join him for two interactive afternoons of Sketch &amp; Connect.       <\/p>\n\n<p><br\/><strong>ARTIST DIRECTOR<\/strong> Nando Nkrumah <strong>CURATION<\/strong> Ya\u00ebl Koutouan<\/p>\n\n<p>OPENING HOURS <br\/>Sat, June 14 1:00-3:00 p.m., SESSION<br\/>Sun, June 15 3:00-6:00 p.m.<br\/>Mon, June 16 closed<br\/>Tue, June 17 5:00-7:00 p.m. with SKETCH &amp; CONNECT with Nando<br\/>Wed, June 18 5:00-7.00<br\/>Thu, 19 June 13:30-15:00 (shortened due to the dialogFORUM in the hall)<br\/>Fri, 20 June 17:00-19:00<br\/>Sat, 21 June 15-00-18:00 with SKETCH &amp; CONNECT with Nando<br\/>Sun, 22 June 13:00-16:00<br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nando Nkrumah is a German-Ghanaian artist whose work is driven by a commitment to empowerment and the accessibility of spaces.
