How the leopard got his claws

By YUSSIF MUSAH

Yussif Musah, born in 1997, studied painting and sculpture in Kumasi, Ghana. As part of the exhibition Memory is not only past, the artist is creating a mural for the public space in Cologne. His research led him to the Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany e.V | DOMiD aswell as to the picture archive of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, among others. By exploring the lines of connection between and within the photographic finds, Yussif Musah transforms the restorative tasks into questions of representation.
