News and Events
Exhibition: We are Africa!
6 to 31 March
Nubuke Foundation
Is painting a dying art form in Ghana? Out of all the 8 artists who took part in this exhibition, the nearest we had to work on canvas were 5 works- part of an installation from Bernard Akoi-Jackson.
There were performances by Serge Clottey, Ato Annan and Bernard in the streets of Accrs and at Nubuke Foundation.
Several questions were being posed by the artists..
Adwoa Amoah's work was critically looking at Ghana's poverty in the midst of plenty- posing questions which were reactions to illegal gold mining and smuggling...
Ato Annan's performance was based on writings by Ghanaian writer, Ayi Kwei Armah.
Kwesi Ohene Ayeh's piece invited visitors to interact as well as react to several thought provoking extracts from Kwame Nkrumah's writings.
Art Dubai Fair
