Elolo Bosoka

Biography

Strasbourg, 2025

ELOLO BOSOKA WAS BORN IN 1991 IN TEFLE, GHANA. HE LIVES AND WORKS BETWEEN TEFLE, ACCRA, AND KUMASI.

Elolo Bosoka graduated with a BFA and MFA from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, in 2015 and 2019 respectively. Currently pursuing a PhD at KNUST, Bosoka is a key member of blaxTARLINES KUMASI, a project space and incubator for contemporary art based at the university’s Department of Painting and Sculpture. In 2022, he was awarded the Baden Württemberg Stipendium Scholarship to study at the State Academy of Fine Art in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Bosoka is an artist-producer dedicated to poetic pathways through cultural infrastructure. His practice explores the relationships between art and everyday life, weaving connections between people, spaces, materials, and systems of exchange. Known for his luminous yet delicate installations crafted from seemingly rough and ordinary materials, he reclaims discarded objects—plastics, textiles, fishing nets, and cans—transforming them into compositions that question value, transformation and transmission within communities.

Elolo Bosoka’s work has been presented in galleries, cultural institutions, art centres, and biennales across Ghana, Germany, Senegal, France, and Denmark, through both solo and group exhibitions. In 2025, AFIKARIS presented his first solo exhibition in France, following a three-month residency in Paris. In 2026, Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe in Germany presented his first solo exhibition at the institution, bringing together a significant body of work developed over several years. Spanning installations, photography, and mixed media, the exhibition offered an insight into the breadth and evolution of Bosoka’s artistic practice.
