Kofi Nana Oduro Iddrisu is a Ghanaian–British cultural archivist, medical student, and entrepreneur dedicated to preserving and amplifying African and diasporic histories. He is the Founder of Archive Africa, a platform committed to safeguarding African memory through exhibitions, film screenings, research collaborations, public programming, and digital archiving. Since its creation, Archive Africa has built a global community focused on documenting overlooked narratives, visual histories, and cultural knowledge systems across the African continent and diaspora.

Born in London and raised between the United Kingdom and Ghana, Kofi’s work is shaped by a deep commitment to cultural preservation, education, and access to knowledge. Through Archive Africa, he has collaborated with major cultural and academic institutions including the University of Cambridge, Bonhams, and MUBI, facilitating projects that connect historical archives with contemporary audiences. His curatorial work often explores identity, heritage, migration, and the role of archives in shaping collective memory.

Alongside his cultural work, Kofi is pursuing medical training with a strong interest in public health and healthcare systems in Africa. His academic background includes studying Human Anatomy at the University of Glasgow  and completing a Master’s in Clinical Embryology at the University of Oxford. His research has explored maternal health disparities and predictive modelling in pregnancy outcomes.

Across his work, Kofi is particularly interested in building institutions that preserve knowledge while strengthening future generations’ access to education, research, and cultural heritage.
