Amoako Boafo: Soul of Black Folks was the debut museum solo exhibition tour for Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo. One of the most acclaimed artists of his generation, Boafo’s works focus the viewers’ gaze on his subjects’ presence through his portraits representing Black life. More than 30 works created between 2016 and 2022 were featured in Soul of Black Folks, displaying Boafo’s vibrant use of color and thick gestures shaped by improvisational techniques such as finger-painting. His works actively center Black subjectivity, Black joy, and the Black gaze as the foundation of his inspiration and artistic practice.
I designed the exhibition graphics for this show, working closely with the curator, exhibitions team, and fabricators.
