Ekow Nimako turned his childhood passions for creating with Lego® into masterful sculptural works in art exhibits throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area — and around the world. Ekow has collaborated with Director X, Nuit Blanche Toronto, and had his work acquired by the Aga Khan Museum in 2021. He infuses his cultural influences as a Ghanaian-Canadian into his pieces with an Afro-futurist lens.

Until May 18, 2024 . . . Ekow Nimako a transformé ses passions d’enfance pour créer des œuvres sculpturales magistrales à l’aide de LegoMD dans des expositions d’art à travers la région du Grand Toronto et de Hamilton (RGTH), et partout dans le monde. Ekow a collaboré avec Director X, Nuit Blanche Toronto, et son œuvre a été acquise par le musée de l’Aga Khan en 2021. Il infuse ses influences culturelles en tant que Ghanéen-Canadien à ses œuvres avec une optique afrofuturiste.

The 15 foot-long architectural wonder made of over 200,000 @lego elements — Asamando, 2022. Asamando is the spiritual realm that the Akan believe to be the dwelling place of the nsamanfo (ancestors). This is the first time it has been depicted as a serpentine city by a contemporary Ghanaian artist.
