Anita Safowaa is an interdisciplinary artist and content producer of British- Ghanaian heritage based in London.
Fatigued by the disposable content our fast-paced world produces, Anita pushes for a shift in the way we consume media by slowing down and deep diving into topics to create thought-provoking work that lives forever in our memories.
Continuously intrigued by the world around us, her work questions what makes us human through analysing our relationship with a range of topic matters including History, Food, Technology, Cultural Trends, Fashion, Music and The Environment. Her artistic practice explores this further by shining a light on under-documented cultural experiences which she preserves by re-imagining these moments through a range of mediums including film, reflective writing, new media technologies and installations.
Pairing an investigative approach with the art of slowing down and thinking deeply; Anita aims to create timeless work that preserves global stories, shifts perspectives and sparks conversations in the process.
Safowaa’s pieces have been screened at BBC New Creatives, ICA, 2020; London Short Film Festival, 2019; Aesthetica Film Festival, 2018; Playback Festival, ICA, 2018; She Lives film screening, 2018. Her projects have also been published by news platforms including BBC Arts, DAZED and London Live.
