Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi, widely known as the Crazinst Artist, is a Ghanaian multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, installation, and video art. They established the perfocraZe International Artists Residency (pIAR) to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between local and international artists, activists, and researchers.
