In his first solo show, Ghanaian artist Abdur Rahman Muhammad presents a collection of oil on canvas paintings that delve into the complex theme of migration. The body of work, titled ‘The Allegory of a Seeker’, on display at the ADA contemporary art gallery in Accra, is based on the real-life experiences of people around him and from watching YouTube interviews.
A standout, Out and At Em (2024), features an individual sitting on a couch. In front of them lies a coloured travel bag, commonly known as the ‘Ghana Must Go’ bag, which symbolises the migration journey.
