Meet ✨Ebenezer Nketsiah Mensah, a finalist in ✨Pathways 2026: The Carlos Malamud Prize.
A multidisciplinary artist whose work is shaped by his experience as a former gold miner and construction worker in Ghana, Mensah explores labor, migration, and identity through sculpture and installation. His practice reflects on the physical and emotional realities of work, while honoring the resilience of the communities connected to it.
Using found and industrial materials, Mensah transforms personal and collective histories into powerful visual narratives rooted in memory, survival, and belonging.
“My work is deeply informed by lived experience, using material and process to speak to labor, movement, and the human condition.”

A massive thank you to these talented singers for their spectacular work in the Beethoven 9th performances. Their precision and passion truly brought the “Ode to Joy” to life.
Deepest gratitude to Dr. Jeffrey Redding and Dr. Kelly Miller for their brilliant leadership and for preparing these singers to such an elite level. It is a joy to collaborate with colleagues who pour so much heart into their craft and their students.
