Captured through the simplistic beauty of his black-and-white photography, ASORKPOR unearths the essence of Accra’s musical soul by revealing a world where the streets become a stage and the people become conduits of rhythm. Through my lens, I transport my audience into the dance clubs of Accra, where the pulsating vibrations from Asorkpor music set the city alive.

ASORKPOR, as an experiential body of work, is a cymatic exploration of the musical genre called Asorkpor, emanating from within Accra. This visual exploration delves into the profound influence of musical vibration on mental and physical well-being, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era.

Through an immersive experience, I seek to examine the correlation between the mass adoption of characteristically Ghanaian music into modern pop culture and its impact on individual and collective health to gain a deeper understanding of the transformative power of music in our lives.

SEANOKKAI.

My name is SEANOKKAI. I’m a street and documentary photographer. I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, to an Australian mother and a Ghanaian father.

For the past four years, I’ve called the vibrant city of Accra, Ghana, my home. It’s within the bustling streets of Jamestown, Accra, my father’s homeland, that my passion for photography has truly flourished. Originally, I turned to photography as a means to explore and understand my own cultural roots. However, over time, the city and its myriad of subcultures have become the focus of a multifaceted exploration of the city’s culturally rich identity.
