He is a former Dean of the Faculty of Art. He researches into issues related to contemporary art and art education on the African continent as well as serial reproduction of African mask forms. Critical to Bodjawah’s current practice is his ritual surfing of the internet to select images of masks that have found their way into museums of the global north and reproducing them serially through a hybrid of artisanal and semi-mechanical means, collaborative manufacture and display. He has had solo shows at the Museum of Science and Technology Accra (2026) and the Cape Coast castle (2017). Bodjawah is a cofounder and patron of blaxTARLINES, an art incubator and project space affiliated with the Fine Art Department in Kumasi.
