Between the Visible and the Invisible: The Veils of Bosumtwi

Tjaša Rener (born 1986, Slovenj Gradec) is a visual artist who has been living and working between Slovenia and Ghana for over a decade. In her multimedia practice, she explores themes of identity, space, and memory. Her current work is deeply influenced by her personal experience of living by Lake Bosumtwi in the heart of Ghana. There, she examines changes in the local residents’ way of life, as well as the broader social, historical, and ecological context of the area. In her latest project, Rener approaches the subject with a socially conscious, decolonial perspective, reflecting on the impact of globalization on the complexity of African reality. Through the medium of photography, she subtly captures cultural shifts that often go unnoticed, interpreting them through her own transcultural experience.
