Nyornuwofia
Agorsor



Being originally an autodidact artist, Ghanaian painter and musician, Nyornuwofia Agorsor, supplemented her personally garnered skills with some studies at Kofi Agorsor’s studio. As an instrumentalist, song writer, composer and performer, she is also the vivacious lead vocalist of the Agorsor Band.

Her works glorify the African Knowledge System of education, which in its fullness, trains and tunes the mind in order to bring forth ones own creative genius. Nyornuwofia believes that there is an urgent need for Africa to change her servitude system of education, which according to her does little to encourage practicality, lacking the potential to nurture and grow the minds that will exploit and add value to our human and natural resources.

Employing mathematical and geometrical symbols, classroom spaces, intelligible and unintelligible texts, she captures, sometimes with humour or satire, the position of Africa today, Africa tomorrow, and Africa yesterday. All come in the guise of pure stretches of colour and drawings tinged with alluring childlike naiveté.
