Prah’s practice moves across photography, spatial interventions, painting and sculpture, engaging the materiality of imaging substances. His work is situated within the gaps of photographic archives, examining how such moments of breakdown produce new possibilities. Grounded in lived experiences and material form, his work centres on his personal engagement with his family album as both object and archive. Edward Prah’s research into his private archive becomes an attempt to reflect on the silent imagery that speaks to the archival material as a whole, granting us permission to assess what the material conditions of the archive could offer.
Prah’s practice unfolds through a sustained engagement with material objects and the processes through which images are produced.
Edward Prah holds a Master in Fine Arts from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana. He studied Painting and Sculpture at the University of Education, Winneba (2020).
