Ashley-Celestina Twumasi

I’m Ashley-Celestina Twumasi — a curious and cautious soul exploring connection through dance and photography, while venturing into video and graphic art. – Interview

ABOUT

Rooted in lived experience and shaped by a transcultural perspective, my artistic work unfolds through dance, photography, and graphic design. I explore themes of identity, connection, and representation—often challenging dominant narratives through both lens and movement. My practice is process-oriented and transdisciplinary, inviting space for reflection, shifts in perspective, and new forms of expression on and off stage.
