I am Megborna (Chris Parker Edzordzi Sefogah), a Ghanaian interdisciplinary artist whose work braids African Cultural (Spiritual) Practice, sonic memory, and Anlo-Eʋe knowledge systems through sound, ritual, and performance.

My practice, The Sound Practice, explores how sound acts as both geneology and cosmology, geneology spelt with an “O” to foreground gene: as code, seed, and instruction. Not lineage as ancestry, but generation as cultural encoding. Sound behaves like a living gene, carrying information, adapting in new contexts, and generating new social relations.

When I speak of African Cultural (Spiritual) Practice, I mean a way of knowing and creating that treats spirituality as lived philosophy; not dogma, but intelligence born of culture, rhythm, and relation. It is where art, ritual, and research meet; where the sacred is a method of understanding the world. This framing situates my work as both experiential and researchable; based in ancestral wisdom yet open to contemporary discourse.

I work primarily with sound, sculpture, and spatial installation, treating performance as listening, and listening as a ritual of collective presence. My works often transform public or domestic spaces into immersive sound environments that respond to movement, proximity, and interaction.

Recent projects include The Assembly i (2025), where twenty-four sculptural speakers formed an acoustic field reminiscent of Ghanaian civic gatherings, and DZOƉUƉU: Pathways of Ancestral Fire, invoking ancestral presence through multichannel chants, processional movement, and fire ritual. My ongoing WHUGBE Sound Pack Project digitises Ghanaian drum languages into living instruments for composition and performance.

My practice as an artist also extends into another branch I call The Community Practice, a framework through which I nurture collaborative and culturally rooted creative spaces. Under this branch are:
• The SHRINE, a free sound studio at KNUST supporting experimental music, sonic research, and community workshops.
• The SoundHouse, an evolving sound space in Anloga dedicated to intergenerational dialogue, storytelling, and cultural preservation.
• And the umbrella parent of all my Community Practice, The ADEGBO Foundation, which houses the ADEGBO Cultural Centre and Some Art Space in Anloga, a growing ecosystem for art, education, and spiritual continuity.

For my curatorial practice, you’ll see art shows like ƆKƆTƆ NWO ANOMAA, ENTER THE BIOMORPHIC PRESENCE, and more recently, MEVA. AVA NAM.

MEVA. AVA NAM: Invoking a Belongingness (2025), presented as part of The MEVA HOGBE Experience in Anloga, envisions art as both invocation and belonging, a portal connecting contemporary practice to ancestral presence, weaving personal and collective histories into a spiral of reflection and renewal. Situated at the ADEGBO Residence on the eve of Hogbetsotso Festival, it became a sacred exchange between community, spirituality, and art, where twelve artists gathered to map how we arrive where we are, and how what we are arrives through us.

I am a OneBeat Alumni, 2024 OneBeat Accelerator Grant Winner, and 2025 Prince Claus Seed Awardee, holding a Master of Fine Art Degree in Painting and Sculpture from KNUST.

Oh, and before I forget, you can listen to my earlier music works on any preferred streaming platform when you look up MEGBORNA.
