Caleb Kwarteng Prah (b. 1994, Ghana)
A multidisciplinary artist based in Koforidua, Ghana, whose practice explores the intersections of photography, painting, assemblage, and everyday material culture. His work examines questions of labour, class, identity, and representation, drawing on the people and objects that shape Ghana’s urban life.
Working with photographic portraiture and salvaged materials, particularly discarded doors from *trotros*, Ghana’s shared public transport vehicles, Prah transforms familiar objects into sites of social and cultural memory. His compositions bring working-class subjects into dialogue with the conventions of Western art history, challenging traditional hierarchies of visibility, status, and representation. Through this approach, he foregrounds the dignity of ordinary lives while investigating the relationships between people, objects, and the environments they inhabit.
Prah graduated from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), where he was associated with the blaxTARLINES artistic community. His work has been presented in exhibitions including Cornfields in Accra (2016), Orderly Disorderly (2017), and Memory and Amnesia: In the Presence of Absent Futures. He has also exhibited internationally through Nil Gallery at Photo London (2023) and participated in the African Artists’ Foundation’s Dig Where You Stand – From Coast to Coast residency programme in Lagos (2024).
Prah’s work is part of Nsi: After the Harvest.
Nsi: After the Harvest is a two-city contemporary art exhibition presented in Lagos and Dakar, exploring the afterlives of extraction through questions of land, memory, ownership, ecology and repair. Bringing together artists and collective practices, the exhibition considers how histories of exploitation continue to shape the present, and what forms of reclamation and regeneration might emerge in response.
Curated by @nkhensanimkhari, the Lagos chapter of Nsi: After the Harvest will remain on view till Jan. 2027.
We warmly invite you to experience the exhibition at the African Artists Foundation.

Humbled to see my work featured in “Street Photography Africa” (@thamesandhudson), out now globally!
My featured pieces merge contemporary street textures with archival memory. I layered archival photos of family and friends over my own images of Ghana’s vibrant tro-tros. It’s an exercise in re-assembling memory placing historical identities onto today’s streetscape.
Grateful to the authors and curators for recognizing this conceptual approach within the evolving story of African street photography.
Big thank you to @barthouseprojects, @azubogu, @motown_gal, and @grafikanstalt for bringing this together, and congratulations to all featured artists!
UK release is out now; US release follows on Oct 27. Swipe to view the spread!

“This project takes a keen look at the work of the anonymous Ghanaian photographers from the post independence era. 1 Minute Instant Passport photos, Wedding Portraits, Living Room portraits ( Social status affirmation), Studio portraits, Borga Photos (Ghanaians living Abroad in the 80s and 90s) etc and juxtapose them with the ubiquitous Trotro car door which is a very colourful and vibrant part of the Ghanaian urban life.”

In every piece, Caleb Kwarteng Prah explores the deep connection between everyday life and our shared history. He turns the simple, vivid details of daily urban scenes into a powerful narrative of resilience and pride. His work, blending techniques from Western art history with the raw, real-life experiences of Ghana, reminds us that our culture is built on both struggle and strength. His art asks us to look back and learn, while also looking forward to a more self-reliant future.
Through his art, Caleb Kwarteng Prah shows us that even the most ordinary parts of Ghanaian life are filled with extraordinary stories. Inspired by the dynamic energy of the streets, where the bright patterns of trotros meet the enduring spirit of hardworking people, he creates images that speak to both our past and our potential. His work is a call to recognize the power in our everyday experiences and to celebrate the rich history that shapes our journey forward.

Caleb Kwarteng Prah (b. 1994) is a Ghanaian artist who tells compelling stories through detailed photography and painting. He began his work drawing simple sketches of everyday life and gradually found his voice by blending traditional Ghanaian motifs with modern themes.

Caleb studied at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, which helped shape his clear, thoughtful approach. He has exhibited his art in Accra, Lagos, and London, earning recognition for capturing the pulse of contemporary life. In group exhibitions like "Collective Joy – Learning Flamboyance!" at Palais de Tokyo, Caleb presens works where he transforms Ghana’s iconic trotro into a vivid archive of memory and movement.
