Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama, recognized as the world's most influential artist, is participating in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. His installation, 'Parliament of Ghosts,' uses discarded materials like chairs and jute sacks, reflecting his artistic philosophy of repair and centering people. Mahama views this recognition as an opportunity to draw attention to artists and conditions in the Global South, advocating for solidarity to address global socio-economic and political crises.
