Talk & Workshop by PercyNii Nortey.
Tuesday 23rd September at The Saldanah Gallery 10:30am.
Artist in Residence at Artlink Fort Dunree September 2025.
Percy Nii Nortey, a multidisciplinary artist from Kumasi, Ghana, explores identity, memory, labour, and decolonisation through installations, performative objects, and moving sculptures. Rooted in personal history and Ghana’s socio-economic realities, he transforms second-hand fabrics into large-scale textile archives that honour resilience and collective memory. Exhibited internationally, his work turns everyday materials into acts of resistance, storytelling, and healing.
Thread of Resistance is a workshop with the Buncrana community, using fabric to explore memory, identity, and power. Participants are invited to bring fabric carrying personal history or everyday traces.
