About the artist

Ibrahim Mahama Crisis and redemption are impetus to the work of Ibrahim Mahama. Vast in scale and ambition, his interventions in public space open a dialogue with histories of failure and hope. From conception to the acquisition and production of materials, through to installation, he refers to the process as ‘time travel’, rerouting the residues of colonial and postcolonial utopias to create new opportunities. ‘I’m interested in the point where the relationship between the material and society, or the space it finds itself in, breaks down,’ he says.
