sakasaka

The artists Adjoa Armah and Sel Kofiga work together artistically under the name sakasaka, which refers to the creative heritage of Adjoa Armah's parents and the Ghanaian Akan word for centipede. 

Adjoa Armah, through her exploration of archives and the photographic image, installations, writing, and site-specific pedagogical experiments, investigates the narratives carried within the body and the silences of memory. Sel Kofiga uses performance, textiles, film and image-making to probe the agency of non-living objects and the spatial experiences of racialized subjects.

Together, their research-based practice, interrogates how grief, survival, and resilience are metabolised across generations and inscribed onto place, proposing new ways to engage with fragmented histories, rituals, and the materials and spaces that bind them. Armah and Kofiga have been practising as artists since 2018 and 2014 respectively, with their independent work being shown and published internationally.
