Awo Tsegah
Sedinam Awo Tsegah (born May 1992) is a Ghanaian visual artist based in Accra, Ghana.
She had her basic education at Christ The King School in Accra and after her B.E.C.E exam, studied Visual Art at Wesley Girls’ High School in Cape Coast, Ghana. She went on to pursue a BA in Communication Design at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, where she later on became a Teaching Assistant for a year.
After school, she gained employment with Doyle Dane Bernbach Ghana (DDB), where she spent three years in the advertising industry. On being exposed to the industry, she came to appreciate more how visuals were able to affect behavioral patterns and mindsets and so began expressing herself through Digital art and
Photography using tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to rebuild
images that focus on social themes, politics and self reflection.
