In December 2025, ArtReview’s Power 100 for 2025 named Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama, celebrated for his textile installations and community-focused art, as the list’s most influential figure. This marks the first time an artist from the African continent has topped the influential annual ranking, showing a shift in the global cultural scene. In 2020, on the occasion of his receipt of the Dutch Prince Claus Award, Mahama was interviewed by ZAM about his drive, his ambitions, and his journey with jute.
