Yemoh Odoi is a Ghanaian artist-activist, the artistic director and founder of The Minority Globe. His main interests involve under-represented communities rights and empowerment, climate and social justice and popular education. The Minority Globe uses artistic methodology, cultural practice and the therapeutic role of art as tools for reflection, action and advocacy on migration issues.
As an artist, he participated in several exhibitions including Organic Knowledge (2021), Out of the Blue Map, Mahal Art Space, Tangier, and Jan Van Eyck Akademie, Maastricht (2021). He has also published his writings and poetry in several publications and reviews such as On Drifting (Calypso 3621, 2021) or the militant platform LeMigrant (2009-14). The figure of the artist-activist or the artist-citizen is at the heart of Yemoh Odoi's practice. The artist documents the life of migrant communities in Morocco, among which he himself is an active member. Between documentary stories and fiction, his art illustrates an art deeply rooted in daily life.
Yemoh Odoi is in 2022-23 the recipient of the South Designs Grant for his project Re-imagi(nations).
