Dear Friends of Ashesi and Ghanaians around the globe,
The TechBridgeWorld team and iSTEP 2012 interns would like to extend a sincere message of sympathy to all Ghanaians. With you, we have witnessed the untimely death of Ghana’s leader and wish to express our shared sadness.
Under President Mills’ leadership, Ghana has continued its tradition as a leading nation in the region. TechBridgeWorld and Ashesi University were able to collaborate on the iSTEP 2012 internship program partly due to his administration’s welcoming posture toward development and international visitors as well as its commitment to democracy and peace.
Know that our thoughts are with you during this time of mourning. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your late President. We stand with you as the nation transitions into the new leadership of President Mahama.
Sincerely,
TechBridgeWorld & iSTEP 2012

About JMAL MAL
Julie Mallis is a multimedia artist who employs a vivid sense of color, illusionistic forms, and humor in order to challenge perception. She explores themes relating to reality and its permeability through depictions of surreal environments and dreamscapes.
Her artwork addresses crucial contemporary political and social issues with a critical lens that aspires to both catharsis and change. Her anthropological studies inform her ideas through the methodology and framework inherent to this sociocultural discipline. Through studying other identities, ideologies, cultures and performance rituals she hopes to both learn and teach about how these can expand the borders of the human experience.
She hopes to offer perspectives that envision and communicate alternative realities where the supposedly impossible is realized. As a synesthete, Mallis' artwork draws upon the intersection of the senses, color, and shape. Her paintings are colorful, abstract works that recall the sublimity of Rothko, while her video work incorporates performance, audio, and a keen sense of geometry and color to create a moving, breathing abstract painting on the screen.
