More quotes by Amoako Boafo

Why should the space of making not be the core of the exhibition?

Back home, if someone is marking an occasion that has an element of luxury, you think of lace.

It carries a certain presence and respect, regardless of whether it’s expensive or simple.

We have a shared understanding of how space can shape both experience and community.

I wanted certain elements to have a stronger physical presence, not just to be represented visually, but to carry their own materiality.
