Samuel Akem

In my artistry I see the world as a pool for material and information that can be consumed in my perspectives as well as reflected in the context of cultural histories. As a Cameroonian-American, with many causes for introspection regarding my identities, the process of making art continues to answer and clarify these questions and uncertainties I have about my being. Having great interest in design and history across the Black diaspora I research and draw from from all sources of knowledge as my works review and remark on the facets of my human experience.
