Art that tells stories of our time
We create exhibitions and art projects for organisations, cultural spaces and public venues. From museums to conferences and corporate spaces. Our exhibitions feature artists from the Global South and explore identity, education and the future of our planet.
Art as a medium for communication
ToChoose develops curated exhibitions and art projects that help organisations engage with the questions of our time. We use art as a powerful medium to open conversations, create emotional connections and make complex topics visible. Our projects appear in museums, cultural institutions, companies, conferences and public spaces.
They are more than just exhibitions. They are experiences that invite people to reflect, discuss and connect.
Kobina Nyarko
Kobina Nyarko paints the ocean like it’s breathing.
His works are filled with fish. Floating, swirling, multiplying. Yet never still. Beneath their hypnotic movement lies a quiet anxiety: the pulse of a planet in flux.
In Birth of Holes, we see the sea as both origin and emptiness.
In Climatic Change, patterns break. Currents shift. The water warns us.
This is more than painting. It’s the ocean’s voice – and Kobina is listening.
Michelle "Mishvania" Beattie
Mishvania turns waste into wonder.
Her sculptures, built from discarded plastic, rise like relics from a forgotten future. They are not just environmental statements, they are portals. Into the deep sea. Into other worlds. Into the beauty that survives destruction.
What begins as debris becomes poetry.
Each piece captures a fragile balance between material excess and aesthetic grace. In a time of planetary collapse, Mishvania’s art asks:
Can we still create beauty from what we’ve broken?
Her answer is tactile, fragile, breathtaking – and impossible to ignore.
Emmanuel Agrey Tieku
He works with discarded textiles and second-hand clothing to explore memory, identity,
environmental degradation, climate change, and sustainability.
His textile installations are immersive: part performance, part provocation. Always
rooted in material, culture, and community.
His vision: to turn discarded textiles into symbols of remembrance, resistance, and
regeneration.
Michael Gah
The calm after the fire.
Michael doesn’t paint. He assembles. Stitches. Layers. He takes what others discard and makes it speak. His work begins where others turn away: on Ghana’s textile dumps, in the chaos of Kantamanto Market, inside the quiet corners of his mother’s sewing room.
Each piece is built from memory and built to remember.
Projects and Documentaries
⚡ Textile Installation Project
HOW TO HEAL A BROKEN WORLD
Think of the leather shoes that carried you through cities and phases. The tablecloth where your family fought, laughed, and celebrated. The blanket under which generations have slept.
Textiles are never just textiles. They are memory. Identity. Witness. They carry your personal history and often that of those before you.
How to Heal a Broken World
This is not a solution. It’s a question. A broken world doesn’t heal through numbers, policies, or plans alone.
It heals through memory. Through connection. Through meaning.
This ribbon doesn’t fix the world. But it invites us to feel it again. To touch what we’ve lost and imagine what we could still repair.
The Ribbon That Connects Us
A 100-meter-long, expanding textile ribbon installation, made from used fabric—not polished, not perfect, but alive. Patched. Faded. Full of memory. A growing artwork and a shared archive. The ribbon weaves itself into monuments, social spaces, and historical as well as contemporary structures, inviting us into dialogue and reflections, but most importantly to healing and hope for a better world.
⚡ A ToChoose Documentary
The carved legacy
This documentary traces the journey of Nigerian visual artist Israel Imoniavwodo as he returns to Benin City in search of a deeper connection to his ancestry and artistic roots. What begins as a personal exploration unfolds into a broader reflection on tradition, craftsmanship, and the evolving role of art in preserving identity.
⚡ A ToChoose Documentary
The Oceans Voice
This short film follows Ghanaian artist Kobina Nyarko, whose work bridges art, marine conservation, and social commentary.
From a young boy drawing with colorful chalk to an internationally recognized artist, Kobina’s journey reflects a deeper purpose: to create not only beautiful paintings, but also conversations about the relationship between humans and the ocean.
