Delali Ayivor is a Ghanaian-American writer, archivist and information systems designer. Her work is grounded in her lived experience growing up in the Global South, where access to mainstream flows of information were often fractured, tenuous, refracted or distorted. She wrote once of Ghana: “this is as West Africa is, constantly trapped somewhere in the binary of finite and fracture.” Thus, her work—like her country and herself—is fundamentally concerned with the structural: intersections, frictions, overlaps, and sites of disjuncture. She is a 2024 graduate of the Pratt Institute School of Information with a M.S. in Library and Information Sciences; a graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and Reed College, a 2011 U.S Presidential Scholar in the Arts, a 2020 Tin House Workshop Scholar, and a member of the second class of Kehinde Wiley’s Black Rock Senegal residency. She currently lives and works in Accra, Ghana.
