This episode of the Change Africa podcast features Selasie Gomado, founder and creative director of Artematis, a Ghanaian art collective and agency driving the continent's artistic renaissance.Selasei begins by tracing his early love for drawing, stifled by familial expectations to pursue engineering, a path he followed until a post-university epiphany sparked Artematis. What started as an online art shop in 2018, born from a random thought in a car ride, has grown into a dynamic collective showcasing five artists globally, from London to Hong Kong.Selasie recounts the rocky early days—six months of no sales—until a friend's advice to tap into Ghanaians' love for experiences led to the first Full Moon Exhibition. With 300 attendees and a single sale, it was a modest validation that shifted Artematis toward events. The momentum of 2019 screeched to a halt with COVID-19, nearly ending the venture. But a personal brush with the virus in 2021 became a turning point. Bedridden and reflective, Selasie recommitted to managing artists full-time, quitting his engineering job after signing with Phillips Auction House for a landmark 2022 London show.The discussion pivots to the artists of Artematis—Hawa Awanle Ayiboro, Abdur Rahman Muhammad, Kwaku Yaro, James Mishio, and Courage Hunke—each pushing boundaries with unique materials and themes. From Hawa's vivid depictions of women's struggles to Courage's fusion of paper and plastic waste, Selasi highlights their growth from emerging to established talents. He reflects on the challenge of balancing structure with creative chaos, a dance he navigates with patience and an open mind.Selasie situates Artematis within Ghana's thriving art scene, crediting pioneers like KNUST's arts department and galleries such as 1957 for creating “third spaces” that democratize art. Yet, he notes a persistent hurdle: local art collecting lags, with over 90% of sales to foreigners. The episode closes with a hopeful vision for African art's future—rooted in quality, documentation, and experimentation—underscoring Selasi's belief that its foundations are still being built.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Change Africa Podcast01:01 Selasi Gomadu and Artomatis: A Journey into Art03:01 The Evolution of Artomatis and Its Impact06:01 Challenges and Triumphs in the Art Scene09:04 Navigating the Art Market: Strategies and Insights12:00 The Role of Community in Artist Development15:03 Defining Great Art and the Artist's Journey17:59 Fostering Creativity and Managing Artists21:07 Success Stories and Growth in the Art Collective23:47 Behind the Scenes of Art Exhibitions26:56 Experimental Approaches in Contemporary Art30:00 The Future of Artomatis and the Ghanaian Art Scene35:50 Building Connections in the Art World39:38 Challenges in the Art Industry44:58 The Role of Galleries in Community Engagement47:03 The Evolving Culture of Art Collection in Ghana50:49 Supporting Artists' Mental Health53:39 Spotlight on Emerging Artists01:06:30 The Future of Art in AfricaFurther Reading and ResourcesTo explore Selasi's world further:Visit Artematis' website (assumed URL) for artist profiles and upcoming shows.Read Rebecca Ann Proctor's 2021 article that spotlighted Artematis, Explore Ghana's art scene through Gallery 1957 and Nubuke Foundation, key players mentioned by Selasi.

In this episode, Teena is joined by Amma Amegashie who serves as the West Africa Operations Manager for City to City Africa. She currently leads the Purpose Beyond Paycheck cohort in Accra, Ghana. Amma loves the Lord, loves the city which she lives in, and hopes to see the city, its people and all the industries being renewed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. She lives in the city of Accra with her beloved husband, Selasi, and enjoys reading, listening to music and watching God's beautiful nature. What is clear from this conversation is that Amma resists any form of a truncated gospel that compartmentalizes the Christian life to a single day of the week. The cohort she leads works to imagine what a Kingdom presence might look and taste like in various spheres of society and work. Would you be encouraged by her words to us: “If your identity is truly in Christ Jesus, it doesn't matter if you are the CEO or the least in rank. You don't find your identity in any of this but you find your identity in Christ Jesus and what he has done on the cross. That he deeply loves you, and we are his children.” TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Introduction and Amma's Bio 1:40 Where Amma lives and works 4:33 How an episode of the Faith and Work podcast helped Amma re-imagine administration 7:56 What drew Amma into the Faith and Work space 11:25 What is the church like in Ghana? 14:41 How Amma has helped people experience a gospel for all of life 20:30 How insurance can be for the glory of God 26:40 Where do you see brokenness in the industries of your city and how God longs to restore 33:40 How visiting a cookie factory changed one person's perspective on work 37:40 If you had to pick just one characteristic as a worker that you see on display in your city, what would it be? How can we be praying for the church in Ghana?

Selasi Berdie is often recognised as an Australian professional rugby league player. Since playing for the Gold Coast Titans, however, he's also become a successful marketer, owner of a popular Gold Coast cafe and food brand and led R&D for Australian supplement store, Body Science. Most recently, while looking for a solution to feed his own child, Selasi developed Sprout Organic, a plant-based baby formula on a global mission to become the most influential children's nutrition brand. 

In this episode, we bring to you a paradox. You will be hearing three voices in this episode; Mine, Selasi's (who is a key member of our team) and Rev Victor Brew. Rev Victor Brew is a lawyer by profession as well as a Reverend Minister in a Baptist church. Interestingly, he is married to one of the top paediatricians in Ghana who also loves to teach children. The Paradox? They were unable to have children for 7 years! How is it possible that a reverend minister, who has prayed for people to be healed and to have children of their own, who has served God all his life and a top paediatrician struggle with child birth for 7 years? How? Connect: Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/conversationsinthedarkpod/

In this episode, host Georgia Graham meets Ronan Mckenzie, the London-based photographer and creative. She's also the designer behind Selasi, a fashion line she began during lockdown, and the founder of HOME, a gallery and community space which champions the work of POC artists. What's inspiring about Ronan is not only her flawless taste and impressive career, but also her bravery and determination. Ronan's Threads of Conversation cover her upbringing in Walthamstow, her first major designer purchase, the birth of Selasi, and the hunt for a very elusive pair of Telfar Uggs.Recorded in October 2021 at The Standard London.

Four bakers, one evening, and one challenge: Who can steam the best spotted dick? On this week's action-packed episode, Tom Gilliford, Selasi Gbormittah, and Yan Tsou of Great British Bake-Off fame, along with honorary Gastropod member (and Cynthia's partner) Tim Buntel, compete to see who can master this most classic of British puddings for the first-ever Great Gastropod Pudding Off! But what in the world is spotted dick? “It's got nostalgia, mystery, horror, and comedy—it's a perfect British dish,” explained British food designer and jellymonger Sam Bompas, who joined us to judge the competition. Listen in as Tom tries to beat his rival Selasi, Yan revives the flavor combination that robbed her of a Bake Off victory, and Tim tests out his Yankee-style pudding on the Brits. While the four bakers duke it out in the kitchen, we dive into the history and science of British pudding to find out what makes a pudding a pudding, the secret ingredient that will give your pud a lovely light texture, and why anyone would name a dessert “spotted dick.”  Learn more about your ad choices.

Creative society. We began to apply this concept as opposed to a consumer society. Consumption is a clear and familiar word to everyone. That which fully describes the attitude of man in the world around him and the point we have our society now. And how do we imagine a creative society? In what society do we want to live? What conditions do we want to have in the world for us, our close ones and people all over the world to live happily? An international project CREATIVE SOCIETY enables any person on the planet to declare their choice, their understanding of the Creative society, the foundations of society every person feels comfortable in. Let us now announce our choice of the future, the future in which we want to live tomorrow.

Episode 024- In this episode, I will let you know what I am up to food-wise and drink-wise.  It's my thinking that you might be interested or inspired to try some of these things.  Note:  I do not receive any compensation for you clicking on any of these links. They are for your knowledge, use, and enjoyment. If you enjoy Guys and Food, it would mean a lot if you could tell your friends and neighbors about it, or send them a link for the website or a specific podcast or blog post.   What I'm Cooking-  Asparagus Bacon Appetizer, Mexican Street Corn We got another delivery of Hello Fresh.  The two meals we got were: Beef Burrito Night with refried beans, queso fresco, peppers and onion. Saucy Barbecue Chicken with creamy green bean and potato salad. What I'm Drinking- Shake Chocolate Porter by Boulder Beer.  I am also trying to switch to rum as a summer drink, without much success. What I'm Baking- Coffee Cake from "The United Cakes of America" and Banana Pound Cake from Cookbook Junkies. What I'm Eating-  I offered a recipe for pickled eggs from a list of egg recipes in Episode 020 .  What is really delicious is if you make egg salad with it!  I didn't mention this during the episode, but the eggs will take on a green tinge because there are no beets included in this recipe.  If the green color bothers you, add beets and enjoy the pink hue. Marcona almonds are a nut from Spain.  We were introduced to them to have them as part of a cheese platter or tapas years ago and have been enjoying them ever since.  From time to time we get them they come tossed with olive oil and sea salt.  I just got them with paprika and they are delicious! My Weekend Project-  Wednesdays with Joe has become Thursdays with with Joe.  First loaf was Farl from Paul Hollywood's book "100 Great Breads".  It was one of the recipes that we used last year. Here is a blog post about that.  The box garden is rebuilt and the vegetables are planted.  This season we have tomatoes, cucumbers, jalapenos, banana peppers, red and yellow peppers, eggplant, basil, mint, and oregano. What Cookbook I'm Reading-  Review of "The Complete Book of Meat" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly.  I did not get to finish "The President's Kitchen Cabinet" by Adrian Miller.  I just got a review copy of "The Harvest Baker" by Ken Haedrich.  He discussed that book a little bit in Episode 021 of the podcast.  However, you can see a promo for it below to get more of an idea about it or click here.   [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Wr02V7Lqw&feature=youtu.be[/embed] What I'm Doing- Writing for Edible Western New York, "Where Has all the Pizza Rustica and Pizza Grana Gone?" Where I'm Going- Toutant for Father's Day where I had buttermilk fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, pickled vegetables, and hush puppies.  My wife had smoked prime rib with mashed potatoes. For dessert it was coffee and beignet.  My wife had absinthe.      What I am Watching- On PBS I watched the American Masters series on chefs in America featuring James Beard, Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and Alice Waters. The Great British Baking Show.  My prediction is that Selasi will win though Kate may be the dark horse in the competition.

Dictionary of Now #6 - VIOLENCE May 11, 2017 with Taiye Selasi, David Theo Goldberg and Achille Mbembe Racial violence often masks itself in various forms and appearances. It is deeply inscribed in social structures, in language systems, in governmental tools, or in the interpretation of history. The genealogy of racial violence is closely connected to modern capitalist nation states. Which historical legacies enable racial classification systems to perpetuate? Against the backdrop of historic developments, continuities, and rifts, three leading thinkers of post-colonial theory will analyze the constant process of normalization of racial violence. How does one detect and address contemporary racisms? How is violence rooted in practices and languages of postcolonial capitalist societies? What does the illusion of a “post-racial” age reveal about the effect structures and camouflage tactics of racist hierarchies of violence? How can racisms be addressed in narrative form? A short story developed for the evening by Taiye Selasi on mechanisms of “othering” and bias as racist demarcation is the starting point of the discussion. Using narrative images, Selasi shows how racial aggression is articulated and how it interconnects individual and societal experiences of violence. The analyses by Goldberg and Mbembe reveal, on the one hand, the close interrelation of racism and systemic, hierarchic, social structures. On the other, they discuss the patterns of legitimation of violence and question the existence of “legitimate” violence in the context of emancipatory movements such as Négritude or Black Lives Matter.

How does one detect and address contemporary racisms? How is violence rooted in practices and languages of postcolonial capitalist societies? What does the illusion of a “post-racial” age reveal about the effect structures and camouflage tactics of racist hierarchies of violence? How can racisms be addressed in narrative form? A short story developed for the evening by Taiye Selasi on mechanisms of “othering” and bias as racist demarcation is the starting point of the discussion. Using narrative images, Selasi shows how racial aggression is articulated and how it interconnects individual and societal experiences of violence. The analyses by Goldberg and Mbembe reveal, on the one hand, the close interrelation of racism and systemic, hierarchic, social structures. On the other, they discuss the patterns of legitimation of violence and question the existence of “legitimate” violence in the context of emancipatory movements such as Négritude or Black Lives Matter.

In our series “Why Public Health?” we ask Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health students and alumni to talk about what drew them to the field. Selasi Dankwa, PhD ’15, took an early interest in infectious diseases like malaria and cholera, a part of everyday life in her home country of Ghana. She came to Harvard Chan School to study the malaria parasite in the lab. Now she envisions taking her skills and knowledge and returning to Ghana to “make a difference.” (2:35)

Hur känns det när man tar livet av en känd romanfigur? Kan litteratur göra dig till en bättre människa? Och vad gör det svenska kungaparet i en amerikansk flanörroman? Marie Lundström går i närkamp med hyllade romandebutanten Teju Cole. Tayie Selasi var fyra år gammal när hon bestämde sig för att bli författare. Men det dröjde ändå trettio år innan boken var klar. Komma och gå heter hennes uppmärksammade debut, och Jenny Aschenbrenner har träffat henne.  Att jobba som översättare är inte alls ensamt! Det är inte ett "tragglande med texter"! Och kör man fast kan man få hjälp av "mannen på gatan". Möt Janina Orlov, som översatt bl a Sofi Oksanen och Katja Kettu till svenska från finska. Och så tittar vi lite närmare på läsplattan. Välkommen, du kära digitala tid - ge oss ögonblicklig tillgång till våra favoritförfattare, scanna vårt personliga behov av poesi, ge våra ögonrörelser den läsning vi behöver - kära läsplatta: Vad kan du egentligen göra för oss?

Ghana Must Go, the much-anticipated debut novel of writer, photographer and designer Taiye Selasi, is the subject of this instalment of Book Talk. Host Danny Scott is joined by Ali Bowden, head of Edinburgh City of Literature, and SBT's Writer Development Manager, Will Mackie. Together, they attempt to peer through the clouds of hype surrounding this cross-continental family saga focused on the Sais, a clan of Ghanaian and Nigerian descent that tries to build a new life in Boston.Among the topics of discussion: does the book live up to the marketing frenzy? Does Selasi's lyrical and poetical style serve the story well? Is this a book to pop into your bag as you go on holiday, or should you shut yourself up with it for a few days? Find out how our panel felt about these questions and more, then join the discussion in the comments below or by tweeting us your thoughts @scottishbktrust or leaving a message on our Facebook page.

Continuing a series of podcasts featuring our Best of Young British Novelists, today we bring you an interview with Taiye Selasi. Selasi was born in London to Nigerian and Ghanaian parents. She made her fiction debut in Granta in 2011 with ‘The Sex Lives of African Girls’, which was selected for Best American Short Stories in 2012. Her first novel, Ghana Must Go, was published in March 2013. Here she spoke to deputy editor Ellah Allfrey about her mother’s garden, Rachmaninov and learning to speak Italian.

Author Taiye Selasi describes herself as an "Afropolitan," a member of a distinctly 21st century generation of African origin. The characters in her new novel, "Ghana Must Go," reflect this sentiment as well. Selasi's first book follows the Sai family: father Kweku from Ghana and mother Fola from Nigeria who meet as college students in Pennsylvania in the 1970s and raise their children in Brookline, Massachusetts. "Ghana Must Go" is, in part, a story of immigration. The Sai parents leave Ghana and Nigeria because, Selasi says, they "were born smart, capable and ambitious in countries that, at that time, could not accommodate such young people."  Yet Selasi explains that while she believes literature plays a role in making sense of historical conflict, of immigration and colonialism, she focuses her fiction on the rich, emotional lives of her characters first and foremost. Fola may have been orphaned during Nigeria's Biafran War, but, Selasi says, "Her primary scars are not political and they're not historical...they're not generic. They belong to her." Similarly, Selasi distinguishes between her fiction that features characters of African origin and her non-fiction documentary work. "I write literature because I love literature," she says. "The consequences that extend beyond the world of the novel…are wonderful, but they are not primary."  "The Afropolitan experience," she continues, "is hugely important to me, as are representations of Africa, but I think of myself as taking that challenge on in a space other than my fiction."

  On June 27th, born to the industry of music and entertainment, was an embodiment of voice, performance and creative pen…recording artist “Tyra B”. Like the Return of the Jedi: Something amazing. Tyra B is no longer (just) the mainstream, commercial artist with the multi-million dollar recording contract; the Destiny's Child Farewell Tour to her credit; the record breaking single, “Still In Love”; Top 10 radio singles and videos…or millions of YouTube views and internet plays. But rather Tyra B is, arguably, urban music's first ever, female RnB and mainstream recording artist who is, for all practical purposes, bypassing labels to do “something amazing”. After years of following, questioning and internal discomfort, Tyra B is embarking on a new lane, a new day…a birthday. So as a symbolic gift to you, Tyra B has released her new, long awaited single; “SEX”. Her single release is not to be outdone by the anticipation of her first official release in (5) years but rather a day where her classic RnB creativity, can and will continue to flow, i.e. “SEX”. The visual pen that caused her to be signed, simultaneously, to a publishing deal at the ripe age of (19), and to work with the likes of Pretty Boy & Bradd, J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, Selasi, Cool & Dre and the likes…continues to be filled with mental ink. Music is for the creative types and the music industry is filled with all…types. Tyra B is stepping out of the box and out of the music industry's idea of what she should be. She is the amazing type. With mainstream acknowledgement, popularity and success conquered, Tyra B will soon be releasing a follow-up EP; “Show Me Something Amazing” #SMSA. Yes this body of work is absolutely…something amazing. But for now, the beginning to her new empire can be heard at
