In this episode i speak with Jojo Abdallah about his latest exhibition, PSY-TECH. Jojo is an artist whose paintings offer a dialogue between past and present, reality and fantasy. Ranging from Ga culture to the impacts of colonialism and modern governance. His work creates a blend of historical figures, places, and events, reimagined through a lens of fantasy that may seem nonsensical at first glance but reveals an underlying logic of how he perceives the world.

We delve into the special role that the Accra Psychiatric Hospital plays in Jojo’s life and work. Often seen through a stigmatized lens, the hospital is a cornerstone of Jojo’s creative journey and has provided a unique space for his artistic development.

This conversation explores how his work challenges, inspires, and transforms our understanding of art and mental health.
