The works of Caleb Hampton, Seton Nicholas, Adoma Afful-Kwaw, and Abdul Karim Abu will be shown from 7 February. The program will begin with an artists’ talk.
The exhibition will also feature a selection of new works, including fabric designs by young artist Na Chainkua Reindorf. Her creations are commentaries on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which were supposed to be achieved by 2015—a sobering cause for reflection for all, especially regarding Agbogbloshie, drawing attention to health issues related to e-waste disposal.
Another young artist, Rochelle Martin, will also be showing her work. Their works will be complemented by those of Emmanuel Adiamah, Oko Martey, Kofi Dawson, and Soma Sen.
Additionally, the exhibition will feature the resplendent flags of the militia companies of the Fante community in Ghana’s Central Region. Offering an insight into Asafo culture, the flags share a vibrant visual language. Each is adorned with appliqued assemblages of small vibrant figures, wild animals, pots of palm wine, traps, explosions, and serpent-headed monsters—portraying proverbs that boast of prowess, mock inferiority, and warn of the risks awaiting any opponent who dares.
