Eric Gyamfi is a lens-based artist living in Accra, Ghana, who uses his work as a window to explore and help bridge realities that exist both inside and outside of his own experiences. He is currently a second-year fellow attending the annual Goethe-Institut Photographer’s Master Class (Khartoum, 2016; Nairobi, 2017). Gyamfi is also a recipient of the Magnum Emergency Fund (2016) and participated in the World Press Photo Foundation Masterclass West Africa (Accra, 2017).
Gyamfi received a bachelor’s degree in information studies and economics from the University of Ghana (2014) and studied photography at the Nuku Studio in Accra. The Open Society Moving Walls Grant will support the expansion of his “Just Like Us” project, including a touring exhibition and public programming.
