About the Item
Patrick Tagoe-Turkson is a Ghanaian contemporary artist known for upcycled tapestries of discarded flip flops. His bold colors and intricate patterns are visually reminiscent of traditional African textiles variegated with a contemporary, unique approach to materials.
Deeply aware of the environmental issues caused by plastic pollution, particularly flip flops that end up in oceans and waterways, he saw an opportunity to turn these discards into something meaningful and artistic. He engages local communities in collecting the detritus, turning what would otherwise be waste into a resource for creativity. Ironically, flip flops, which are commonly used footwear in many parts of Africa, he brings attention to both the ubiquity of plastic waste and the richness of African culture. Through his work, he encourages viewers to reflect on their own consumption habits, personal waste and their impact on the environment.
Tagoe-Turkson’s work is a testament to his artistic talent, environmental activism, and commitment to creating meaningful art that sparks dialogue and inspires positive change while honoring his cultural heritage.
