Diasporic thinkers on longing, place, and knowledge in motion.

Adjoa Armah is an artist, educator, and writer. Her practice meditates on memory and the layered realities we carry within our bodies. Drawing on personal and collective histories, she navigates the intersections of grief, cultural memory, and resilience, particularly as they emerge within diasporic and post-colonial contexts.

She is the founder of saman archive, a gathering of photographic negatives encountered across Ghana, through which she explores models of institution building grounded in Akan temporalities and West African technologies of social and historical mediation. Armah is also currently a practice-led DPhil researcher in Fine Art at Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford, cross-supervised with Pitt Rivers Museum, with a project provisionally titled; ‘Atlantic Marginalia: Towards Black Historiography with the Temporal Consciousness of Sand’.
