Yonga Arts
Blog

... a vibrant space where art, culture, and storytelling come alive. Here, we explore the heartbeat of contemporary African expression through the lens of Anansinisim, body painting, photography, performance, and visual design. Rooted in ancestral symbolism and living traditions, our stories highlight the power of art to heal, confront, question, and inspire.

This blog documents the journey of Oscar Korbla Mawuli Awuku an Artist/founder and creative director of Yonga Arts, whose practice expands beyond the canvas to challenge colonial narratives, celebrate Black identity, honor women, and reawaken spiritual memory. From behind the scenes creative processes and conceptual breakdowns, to cultural research, exhibition updates, and personal reflections, each entry invites you deeper into the world that shapes the work.

Whether you’re an art lover, student, collector, curator, or simply curious, this blog serves as a bridge, connecting tradition and innovation, archived knowledge and present vision, individual experience and collective story.
