Elolo Bosoka Mentorship Awards recipient

Elolo Bosoka is a multidisciplinary artist based between Accra and Kumasi, Ghana. With his installations, images, objects, drawings, and see-through soft sculptures, Bosoka appropriates items from corners of the mundane urban environment to engage with notions of art as place, economic exchange, materiality, and history.

Elolo received his Bachelor's and Master’s of Fine Arts from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. In 2022, he was awarded the Baden Württemberg Scholarship to study at the State Academy of Fine Art in Karlsruhe, Germany. Elolo is a member of blaxARLINES KUMASI—the project space and contemporary art incubator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, where he is also currently pursuing his PhD.
