Delali Cofie
Delali Cofie is a Ghanaian-Nigerian photographer currently living in Toronto, Canada. Through storytelling he engages in multiple genres of photography such as fine art, documentary, and fashion. His personal work presents subtle beauty whilst exploring themes of self-formation, and the process of becoming. Frequently creating work between his native city Accra and current city Toronto, his work tells a tale of two cities, linked by a diasporic thread.
Recent exhibitions include It comes to me in waves, Patel Brown Gallery (2024), Tree of Life, Photo Vogue Festival, Italy (2025) and REVIVE, DesignTO Festival, Toronto (2025), where he was the recipient of the emerging artist/designer award. In 2022, his work was featured in legendary Ghanaian photographer James Barnor's exhibition catalogue at the Arles Photography Festival.
He is a recent graduate of OCAD University, where he was the recipient of the OCAD U Medal for Photography and the Nora E. Vaughan award.
