MAGO Gallery New York is pleased to present Mago Nagasaka's exhibition, Still A Black Star.
Mago's work grapples with the mounting crisis of electronic waste (e-waste) and its detrimental effects on the Ghanaian community of Agbogbloshie. In 2017, Mago began reworking and recycling Agbogbloshie's e-waste into an artistic medium within his works. The proceeds from selling his artwork were funded into building a school and factory in the Agbogbloshie community. Mago's works present the decades of our discarded technology accumulated on the landscape of the Agbogbloshie community. His artwork critiques the reality of modern capitalism and, at the same time, reduces the e-waste impacting Agbogbloshie. Mago's work aims to create a brighter future for Ghananian communities by allocating the proceeds from his sales towards education for young people in the Agbogbloshie community.
Recently, Mago was selected as one of the "30 Japanese who contribute to the world" by Newsweek Japan for art, activism, and his recent documentary film. Mago's film, Still A Black Star, raises awareness around his work and the environmental issues in Agbogbloshie. His film resounded widely with numerous festivals, including Best Environmental Film at the Newport Beach Film Festival.
