The Lightbulb Moment with multidisciplinary artist and musician Serwah Attafuah

The Lightbulb Moment explores electrifying moments of realisation and inspiration from entrepreneurs in diverse fields. 

Hosted by cultural entrepreneur and author, Emilya Colliver, we ask entrepreneurs about their “lightbulb moment” i.e. their creative epiphany, to find out what brought it on and how they followed through with it to get where there are today. Each episode is packed with practical tips to work towards your own lightbulb moment.

This week, we sat down with Serwah Attafuah, a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in Dharug land/Western Sydney. In this episode, Attafuah shares her electrifying digital art journey with our listeners, such as her early interest in dismantling retro computers and her recent collaboration with Paris Hilton!

Attafuah creates surreal cyber dreamscapes and heavenly wastelands, populated by afro-futuristic abstractions of self with strong ancestral and contemporary themes. 

Attafuah has collaborated with and been commissioned by clients including Mercedes Benz, Nike, GQ, Adobe, Paris Hilton, Charli XCX and Art Pharmacy. Recent notable achievements include her participation in Sotheby's 'Natively Digital': A Curated NFT auction and 'Apotheosis': a live motion capture experience with Soft Centre at The Sydney Opera House.
