Sasso explores queer expression and belonging in Ghana through intimate portraits of friends, lovers, and chosen family, creating a shared space between the artist and their collaborators. The work reflects on how identity is shaped through gesture, styling, and everyday performance.
Sasso takes its title from a Ga word (a language spoken by the Gas in Southern Ghana) that was historically used for gender-nonconforming men. Within this series, Agyeibea creates images that centre agency, presence, and the complexity of queer life in Ghana. In a context where same-sex relations remain criminalised in Ghana, and where recent legislation has sought to further restrict LGBTQIA+ lives, queer individuals face ongoing discrimination and hostility.
