Patrick Nii Okanta Ankrah (GH)

Overview

Patrick Nii Okanta Ankrah, a curator and artist based in Ghana, will conduct a residency at PART International Art Residency Austria. He treats art as a "zero point" where different spheres of life fuse, and approaches exhibition-making as an interdisciplinary practice. During the residency, he will extend his interest in art as a generative, life-making act into new curatorial research, investigating how curatorial frameworks can hold space for collective, everyday, and unresolved forms of meaning-making.

Residency Dates

• August - October 2026

Location

PART International Art Residency Austria, Meiereistraße 3 (Entrance: Bildhauergebäude des Bundes) & 16, 1020 Vienna, Austria
