NEW Talk: “I’m an artist with no shame. I go into any space and ask if I can work there – factories, railways and so on,” says renowned Ghanaian artist, Ibrahim Mahama aka @ibrahim_mahama

At the Design Indaba’s 25th anniversary, @ibrahim_mahama presented his powerful body of work that redefines monumentality. Known for his large-scale installations, Mahama transforms buildings and public spaces using reclaimed materials, most notably jute sacks once used in Ghana’s cocoa trade.

Jute sacks, while seemingly ordinary, carries complex histories. Having travelled across borders and passed through countless hands, the sacks embody global systems of trade, labour and exchange. By stitching them together and draping them over architectural structures, Mahama creates works that are both visually striking and deeply political confronting the legacies of colonialism and capitalism.

@ibrahim_mahama conveys the idea that materials hold memory, sharing with audiences how the wear, stains and markings on each sack become a living archive of human activity, reflecting both the promises and failures embedded in Ghana’s post-independence history. Mahama provides insight into his installations, sharing that beyond the scale and spectacle, his work reveals the invisible systems that shape everyday life.

Mahama also emphasised the role of community in his practice. His works are often produced through collective labour and installed in public or socially significant spaces, inviting dialogue and participation. For him, art extends beyond objects it becomes a platform for rethinking institutions, histories, and futures.

He says a lot of the projects he undertakes emerge from the spaces in which he finds himself, whether in Ghana or abroad. A particularly touching project is repurposing old aeroplanes to that they can be used as classrooms in Ghana. Children love these classrooms and some even make model aeroplanes as a result.

Thank you @ibrahim_mahama for hosting me at Red Clay Studio in #Tamale

Lots to reflect on - especially the need to preserve our history and bring it to life. And that includes the shared history of Ghana and UK

So that we remember the stories of the past and to inspire new ones
