Noldor Residency: Cultivating a thriving artistic community through its multifaceted program of residencies and fellowships for contemporary African artists
We had the privilege of working in collaboration with Project X Studios to bring the artist profiles of Dr. Mimi Adu-Serwaah and Joshua Oheneba-Takyi to life through a documentary film series. Together, we were able to capture their unique perspectives and creative processes, showcasing the impact of the Noldor artist residency on their work. Through our films, audiences were able to gain insight into the artists' individual journeys and the ways in which their participation in the residency program influenced their art. We are proud to have been able to share these stories and to provide a deeper understanding of the artists' work.
Joshua Oheneba-Takyi explores the themes of power, culture, and human emotion through his use of chairs as a metaphor in his paintings. His work is thought-provoking and deals with complex ideas, and it was interesting to see how he uses symbolism to explore these themes. The residency at the Institute Museum of Ghana has given him the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the human experience and to portray the complex emotions and experiences of the individuals depicted in his work.
Mimi Adu-Serwaah, also an artist, explores the complexities of black skin through a combination of artistic abstraction and realism. Her vibrant, colorful paintings showcase her unique perspective on the concept of "perfect imperfections" in people. The use of vibrant colors and her exploration of the concept of "perfect imperfections" in people is unique and thought-provoking. The residency has allowed her to explore these themes and to develop her artistic vision.
