Positive Moves

Nyornuwofia Agorsor (b. 1983) is a painter and a musician. Even as an autodidact, she supplements her skill with studies at the studio of Kofi Agorsor. Her work is generally characterised with a childlike innocence. Being accessible, Nyornuwofia’s friendly, almost jovial canvases readily disperse their poignant messages without the dizzying pretensions and trappings of the adult world. She believes in the essence of quality family moments and spends a great deal of her time sharing both artistic and academic knowledge with her kids. Her work largely dwells on the African Knowledge System of education where the mind of a student is trained and tuned to bring out the creative genius in every soul. She also believes that “There is an urgent need for Africa to change its servitude system of education which does not encourage practicality and training of the mind that will bring out that creative generative minds in our societies who will exploit and add value to our human and natural resources”. Nyornuwofia is the lead Vocalist of the Agorsor Band.
