KOBI
Oh, The Things You Can Be is a show in collaboration with my 4 year old daughter Indie Victoria Grace. Throughout my life, I was told that being an artist was not a sustainable thing I could be and do. The purpose is to show her that an artist is something that she can be and that there’s more to life than what’s in your bank account. To show her that people care about her and what she has to say, and ultimately the only opinion that can shape her reality is hers.

About the Artist:
KOBI is a conceptual Liberian/Ghanaian Photographer and Filmmaker. He obtained his BFA in Integrated Media and Film production from St.Cloud State University. KOBI is a 2021-2022 Jerome Fellow, and former member of Public Functionary Studios. He believes that the art we make is an extension of who we were, who we are and who we want to become. KOBIS artistry has evolved from one about reparation and become more about the preservation and restoration of his self-identity and how it relates to the diaspora of Blackness. KOBI uses Film making, Sound Design and Analogue Photography as a tool to display his trauma and create a space for healing through conversations about acceptance and accountability.
