ABBEY IT-A
Presently finding liminal grounds between artistic practice and the curatorial, Abbey IT-A is increasingly interested in the proverbial discursiveness inherent in Contemporary Art and how it holds in praxis. They explore this concern through experimental, multi-vocal, curatorial interventions with photography, video, text, and conversation as likely points of departure in an independent art practice. As a curator at the Foundation for Contemporary Art-Ghana, they help support contemporary Ghanaian art practices and discourses through research, workshops, seminars, exhibitions, interventions, and labs.
Educated in Ghana, they earned their BFA from the Department of Painting and Sculpture, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where they are currently a candidate for an MFA. Abbey is a current Fellow at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa & the University of the Western Cape where they are researching the relevance of museum practices to Africa.
They live and work in Accra, Kumasi and now Cape Town.
