Artists’ Biographies
Annie-Marie Akussah b. 1995 in Accra, Ghana. Lives and works in London, UK.
Annie-Marie Akussah’s work focuses on inter-African diasporic stories. Documentation plays a key role in the way she represents her subjects and exploration of the world of ‘expatriates’. Her paintings are an assemblage; portraits are mixed with found objects that respond to each subject’s context and personal history. Through her work, she attempts to expose the construction of a diasporic identity and the difficulties of belonging.
She has exhibited extensively, including the Bamako Encounters – African Biennale of Photography (2022). Her work was featured in New Contemporaries (2018), and she was selected for a residency in THREAD, at Senegal Africa (2019).
Daniel Greenfield-Campoverde b. 1984 in Caracas, Venezuela. Lives and works in London, UK.
Daniel Greenfield-Campoverde’s work, mostly video, painting, and installation, revolves around themes of identity and memory that generates powerful reflections upon notions of belonging and home. His artistic practice responds to his diasporic and queer self-negotiations, and led him to investigate maps, borders, and the concept of ‘place’ inevitably connected to his personal journeys.
He is currently pursuing a MA in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. Previously, he lived in New York, USA, where he studied architecture at Yale University and the Pratt Institute.
