DēpART Consultancy supports brands, organisations, and individuals to connect through curation, collaboration, project planning, and funding strategies. Guided by the pillars of Connection, Collaboration, and Change, we craft transformative cultural initiatives that amplify the voices of creatives and thought leaders, blending creativity with precision, ensuring that artistic vision is underpinned by strategic execution.
We provide expert curation, shaping exhibitions, cultural programs, and immersive experiences that tell authentic stories. Our project planning ensures smooth implementation, while our fundraising strategies and network-building expertise secure the resources and partnerships needed to create high-impact collaborations.
Rooted in the principles of a-di-nkra — the ancient Akan visual language that translates to departing messages — our work honours storytelling as a tool for connection, legacy, and transformation where artistry meets strategy, and vision becomes reality.
PROJECTS
Free Will- Asia Clarke
Client: Asia Clark, a multidisciplinary Afro-Caribbean creative with a passion for transforming hair, jewelry, beauty, and styling, living between Accra, Ghana and Toronto, Canada.
Project Overview:
First commissioned by Chantel for Touch, the debut exhibition at La Foundation in Accra, Asia Clarke created JUMBIE — a mixed-media sculpture inspired by Afro-Caribbean heritage and hair aesthetics. Its immediate success motivated Clarke to expand the work into FREE WILL: Manifestors of Realities, a series of wooden portrait sculptures honouring Afro-Caribbean freedom fighters, each adorned with intricately styled hair.
DēpART initiated a collaboration with historian Fiona Compton, who is producing an accompanying text and is further extending the project’s each through What the Ancestors Whispered at The Fuze Caribbean Art Fair in Nassau, a duo presentation with artist Bryony Ella exploring ancestry, resistance, and intergenerational wisdom.
FROM ECHO TO ECOSYSTEM-Ɛdan GHANA
Client: Ɛdan Ghana, an Accra-based creative lab exploring sound, storytelling, and alternative research methods rooted in African spatial experience and sonic heritage.
Project Overview:

The project was led by researcher Carina Tenewaa Kanbi in collaboration with pioneering Ghanaian DJ and producer TMSKDJ.
