Today’s throwback doesn’t go too far back... earlier this week, we welcomed Emma Prempeh to Dot Ateliers for our 2026 residency program.
Emma is a London-based British artist with Ghanaian and Vincentian heritage. Her practice explores time, memory, and lineage through painting, using layered surfaces and schlag metal—a brass alloy that oxidizes over time—capturing impermanence and transformation.
Through her work, Emma has deepened her connection to Ghana, visiting for the first time in 2021 and returning in 2022 and 2024. This residency allows her to move beyond the personal into collective inquiry, exploring how unfulfilled legacies, familial obligations, and diasporic longing shape our sense of self.
We are excited to offer the space for these explorations and can not wait to see what is birthed.

We started the year off with a visit form student, to our writers and curators residency. The dialogue was engaging and their visit brought the space to life.

A warm welcome to our first resident of 2026, . His multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, installation, sculpture, and sound—redefining the expressive potential of charcoal in dialogue with other media. Rooted in collective memory and socio-political critique, Quarshie’s work engages themes of capitalism and environmental degradation. We’re excited to see how his practice evolves as he explores a familiar city from a new perspective.

Grateful to familiar and new faces for joining the dialogue with Hayfa and Kwaku Sikahene. Your involvement enriches the experience. From Riad to San Francisco to Accra, touching on universal human themes, the artist concluded with an invitation for cultural dialogue and deeper exchange. As we reflect, let’s continue building bridges.

Do not miss the last session of our dot.mat conversation series with Hayfa Algwaiz, our current and final 2025 artist-in-residence who came to Accra seeking new perspectives.
An artist and architect who reveals presence through absence, Hayfa’s practice uses erasure, redaction, and layering to explore the dialogue between permanence and change. Her work captures overlooked architectural details and cultural rituals—the fragments and traces that quietly define how we inhabit space and memory.
Moderated by Kwaku Sikahene Ampomah, this conversation will explore how Accra is influencing Hayfa’s visual language, what resonances she’s discovering between Saudi and Ghanaian spatial traditions, and how this residency is shaping her evolving understanding of cultural memory and transformation.

date: Tuesday 26 November 2025
time: 4:30pm – 6:00 pm
location: dot.ateliers | South La

Come early, stay curious.

Every color tells you what it wants to become.
Matilda’s palette is a study in bridging recent experiences with archival imagery—to the vibrancy of fresh pigment, to the conversations between hues, to the moment when intuition says “now.” Here at dot.ateliers, we honor the materials that make the work possible: the humble tube, the well-worn palette, the bright bucket of pure potential.

We’re thrilled to welcome Hayfa to dot.ateliers | south labadi—an artist and architect who reveals presence through absence, documenting the overlooked rituals and details that quietly define us.

Shaped by life between Saudi Arabia and the United States, Hayfa understands how distance creates intimacy. Through techniques of erasure, redaction, and layering, she explores the dialogue between permanence and change—asking what we preserve, what we release, and how we feel what we cannot see.

At this pivotal moment of cultural transformation in Saudi Arabia, Hayfa comes to Accra seeking new perspectives.

Still thinking about that conversation with Matilda Forsberg
Big thanks to everyone who pulled up and shared vibes, questions, and insights, you made it so worth it.
And to Kwaku Sikahene Ampomah for always keeping the flow effortless as always. dot.mat conversations are where ideas meet energy, and we’re just getting started.

Happy Birthday to Christopher Samuel Idowu!

As the first artist in our 2025 residency cycle, Samuel brought a deeply intuitive and spiritual approach to his practice.

His time at dot.ateliers was marked by quiet focus, generosity, and experimentation. We’re grateful for his presence and all he shared with our space and community.

Wishing you a year filled with growth, grounding, and continued creative discovery.
