Patrick Tagoe-Turkson's practice is the transformation of waste into art. As an ardent environmentalist, he addresses ecological issues that plague the global south, partiularly pollution and climate change. His process of working with found flip-flops and discarded plastics, examines the notions of identity, memory, and waste. He shows that the role an artist can have when they interact within a community and aim to reclaim, transform, and repair. Tagoe-Turkson received his MFA in Painting at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana and is currently Senior Lecturer at Takoradi Technical University in Ghana.
