an undisciplined project


Beatrice “Bee” Arthur is a Ghanaian artivist, curator, sustainability advocate, translator, and established fashion designer. A graduate of the University of Ghana (BA in Literature, Sociology, and Linguistics), she has been at the forefront of eco-art and decolonial fashion for over two decades. She is Head of the Fashion Domain of the Ghana Culture Forum, a member of the Global Fashioning Assembly and the Research Centre for Decoloniality and Fashion, and the founder of the Waste Afterlife Art Movement (WAAM).

Her work has been published in books such as Cosmopolitanism and Women’s Fashion in Ghana by Prof. Christopher Richards, Élégances Africaines by Renée Mendy, and Ghana’s Iconic Fashion Designers by Dr. Osuanyi Quaicoo Essel. She has also contributed a chapter on textile waste colonialism to the forthcoming Sustainability Challenges in the Fashion Industry (Springer, 2025). Recently, Bee’s creative practice has expanded into poetry, with her first official poem Toxic Truth (Where Plastics Lie) debuting at Alliance Française Environmental Week (2024) and Mírame performed with Ars Poetica at Ghana Club (2025). Through her writing, she continues to bridge art, advocacy, and sustainability.
