Dr. Yeboah’s current practice contemplates the breakdown of both the body and afro-textured hair as a parallel to the denaturing coloniality of our senses, self, and knowledge. These artistic explorations were conceived within the conceptual forays of her PhD research at Cambridge.

From this, she continues to interrogate the persistent wounds inflicted on the self
by coloniality, and seek to heal them through the emergence of new knowledge and ways of being, through her exploratory art-making.

Something powerful is coming to Tampa this Juneteenth!

LIVING LEGACY is an art exhibition celebrating the enduring impact of James Weldon Johnson and three remarkable artists; Noland Anderson, Meclina Gomes, and Kamil Peters, who were brought together through the James Weldon Johnson Foundation residency.

Their works span canvas, metal, and text, sharing a resonant voice — portraying Black lives with dignity, depth, freedom and agency.

Highlighting Anderson, Gomes, and Peters’ distinctive set of practices, Living Legacy ultimately invites us to experience accomplishments through brushstrokes, welded forms, and cautiously constructed words, encouraging viewers to see art as a space for continuation; an active archive of voices that refuse to remain static.

Because legacy is not what is left behind. It is what is lived, now.

Dr. Debbie Yeboah is a Ghanaian artist, researcher, and educator who specializes in decolonial contemporary African art education. She holds a PhD in Education from the University of Cambridge, where she passed her dissertation on decolonizing Ghanaian art education without corrections.

Her practice examines the impact of coloniality on knowledge, culture, identity, and the body. She utilizes art-making as a form of research, resistance, and a "life praxis" for healing.

04/20/2026

To Dr. Yeboah, the very act of art-making is for production of new knowledge, and the finished work stands as both a refusal of internalized rupturing caused by coloniality, and a continuous act of healing.

It extends an invitation to reimagine and reconstitute our being in the wake of dispossession and disintegration.
Each of her pieces becomes a bodily dialogue between the explicit and the implicit, the tangible and the intangible.

RENATURATION
Acrylic on canvas | 40cm x 50cm
By Dr. Debbie Yeboah

In her practice, Dr. Yeboah uses vivid color palettes, and most of her work includes the human form in one form or another. She has a keen interest in how the body, though scarred by history, can still be an active site of profound becoming.

“From my paintings to my installations, my pieces are ongoing exercises in renewal and sustained healing, offering a space where the personal becomes embodied and universal. The work is both in the pieces and before them. Thus, the process becomes an act of resistance and restoration, providing not only a means of healing, but also an invitation to participate in the ongoing journey of reconstituting the self” - Dr. Debbie Yeboah.

Layers of paint, handwritten text, and real lotto papers come together in “Lotto Kiosk” by Ghanaian artist Jewel Eklu.

The lotto kiosk is a common feature of Ghanaian street life — some see it as a confessional, a community board, or a monument of hope.
