Serge Attukwei Clottey is known for his work that examines the powerful agency of everyday objects. Working across installation, performance, photography, and sculpture, Clottey explores narratives of personal, family, and collective histories often relating to trade and migration.
Based in Accra and working internationally, Clottey is the creator of Afrogallonism, an artistic concept that comments on consumption within modern Africa through the utilization of yellow gallon containers.
Through cutting, drilling, stitching, and melting found materials, Clottey’s sculptural installations are bold assemblages that act as a means of inquiry into questions of form and history.
As the founder of Ghana’s GoLokal performance collective, Clottey sees art as a way to transform society. With aspects of activism prevalent in his practice, his works challenge convention and advocate for the importance of creativity.
