Abstract [sv]

Som förstfödd blev jag enligt tradition döpt efter min farfar, Solomon Aduo. Jag har endast sett ett gammalt urblekt fotografi av honom men jag vet att han arbetade med trähantverk när han levde. Min gammelmormor Nana Anima arbetade som krukmakare och korgbinderska under sin livstid. Trots en känsla av separation från mitt arv så finns det en arvslänk av hantverk som binder oss samman.

I mitt examensarbete har jag arbetat med traditionella symboler och objekt från Ghana för att berätta om hantverk, arv och identitet, omsorg och längtan.

Abstract [en]

As the first born, I was traditionally named after my grandfather, Solomon Aduo. I have only seen an old faded photograph of him but I know he worked with woodcraft when he was alive. My great-grandmother Nana Anima worked as a potter and basket maker during her lifetime. Despite a sense of separation from my heritage, there is a legacy of craftsmanship that binds us together.

In my degree project I have worked with traditional symbols and objects from Ghana to tell a story about craftsmanship, heritage and identity, care and longing.
