About this episode

In this episode of Shaping Freedom, we have a raw and honest conversation with British-born Ghanaian artist Joseph Aoua Darko. As an artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, curator, and writer, Joseph bares so much of his soul, his artistic process, and how he has come to terms with his mental health and sexuality. Joseph stands proudly behind his commitment to supporting those in their mental health journey. 

In this conversation, Joseph shares how he uses color theory and emotional journaling in his art to confront his battles with bipolar disorder and depression and his experience living in a multicultural world. Joseph offers a unique perspective on how art can transform pain into a pathway to self-love and healing. Welcome to Shaping Freedom.
