Dorothy Akpene Amenuke (PhD), a Ghanaian artist who lives and works from Kumasi, Ghana, also lectures in the Department of Painting and Sculpture in the College of Art and Built Environment, KNUST, Kumasi. For her art, she manipulates a variety of fabrics and fibres (natural and synthetic) into objects and spatial installations that evoke feelings of containment and protection or even subtle repulsion. Her research interests focus on themes that reference to a large extent ‘space’ consumption and their evolving aesthetics with mixed media and installations that address habitations and transformations, with particular interest in fibres and their revolutionary potential in contemporary art practice. Devotion tends to be a recurring metaphor in her use of materials and processes. Amenuke has several art exhibitions (both solo and group) to her credit. She has participated in several local and international art workshops and residencies, and she directs/ coordinates the itinerant OFKOB Artists’ Residency in Ghana. She is part of the collective Reparative Encounters, a network that brings together artists, curators, and researchers from the US Virgin Islands, Ghana, Kalaallit Nunaat, and Denmark to foster artistic collaboration across these locations. She was a member of the advisory board and management team of the international, interdisciplinary, and collaborative research project “Advancing Creative Industries for Development in Ghana”, which was funded by Danida, and ran from 2019 to 2025. Her work has found home in local and international art exhibitions (KNUST and Alliance Francais, Kumasi, Accra Art center, University of Ghana, Nubuke Foundation, Stedelijk Museum Armstedam, alpha nova and Galerie Futura, Berlin, Germany, Liwan Design studios and Labs Qatar) and journals including Cultural trends, African Journal of interdisciplinary Studies, Journal of Arts and Humanities and African Arts-MIT Press journals.
