"We have a big
challenge now to go to work in documenting the rich cultural and
traditional values of Ghanaian society before the western cultural
tsunami swallows us."
-Godwin Azameti, Co-founder & Photo instructor
Deviwo
Projects is a collective of artists and educators dedicated to generating opportunities for Ghanaian youth to express themselves using media tools that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
In response to a growing sentiment that Africa, a continent of diverse people and cultures, has become narrowly defined through the words and lenses of foreign visitors, Deviwo Projects employs local media-makers to enable Ghanaian youth with skills to document, preserve and re-invent their own experiences.
The Deviwo Projects Scholarship, generated by donations, and book/print sales, supports photographers with outstanding academic achievements and proven community leadership to pursue their dream of completing high school.
