Witnessing the flooding images of drifting and sinking opportunities for global equality while digesting the tangling sounds of modern societies in flux, as traditional linear and literary epistemologies approach a context-wrestle with the tides of global circulatory networks.

The complex volatility of space as a malleable concept,  brings Kwame Aidoo to engage with this mixed media work- assortments of cut outs from library books and archives from West Africa and West Europe, embedded in text and paint, aimed at carving reformed representations while referencing the repetitive nature of posters pasted on street walls in Ghana.
