Fancy one day shadowing work experience with artist and design Bevan Agyemang?

Bevan Agyemang is Ghanaian born, London artist and designer whose work explores cultural identity within the contemporary context of globalisation. He began to depict himself as characters who were influenced by the diasporic journey of his parents and his immediate environment. He uses his body to communicate these stories and naturally develop the power of his aura, working through a subconscious process. Agyemangs work across the fashion landscape is powered by his documentary approach and the local community. His fashion label TSAU (The Space Around Us) finds its utopian references through the exploration of omnipresence and anthropology.
