BIOGRAPHY
Yaw Afrim Gyebi is a Ghanaian documentary photographer, filmmaker and visual researcher whose practice explores communities, cultural memory, material culture and everyday life. His work examines how histories are carried through people, places, objects, rituals and lived experience, with particular attention to communities and narratives often overlooked by dominant forms of representation.
His practice has evolved from conventional documentary storytelling towards photography as a research and archival methodology. He is interested in how visual archives can preserve not only images, but relationships, knowledge and forms of memory that exist outside formal institutions.
His ongoing projects include Tears of the Kayayo, Bayakasoa: Unseen Lives, Unending Spirit, and Living Archives Beyond the Canon, through which he investigates memory, cultural continuity, materiality and the politics of representation in Ghana.
