Eight Ghanaian artists—Bernard Akoi-Jackson, Adwoa Amoah, Ato Annan, Yaganoma Baatuolkuu, Serge Clottey, Kelvin Haizel, Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh, and Mawuli Tofah—challenged themselves with the production of multimedia art forms.

After participating in workshops with video and sound artists Emeka Ogboh and Jude Anogwih from the Video Art Network, the artists embarked on a journey of self-discovery in multimedia art—using sound, photography, video, and tools that many of them had not used before.

Their works, installed in the rooms and corridors of the Du Bois museum and mausoleum, evoke a myriad of emotions: sadness, expectation, energy, hope, excitement, and nostalgia.

The management and staff of the Du Bois Centre recognized the importance of contemporary art practice and offered their support in various ways. The re-energizing of the museum space and the mausoleum is an experience not to be missed.

This exhibition was curated by the Nubuke Foundation with support from Uzora Projects in Nigeria. The entire project was made possible through the support of the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne.

The opening will take place at 3:00 PM on 5 March 2014 and will be immediately followed by a discussion with the artists, scholars, and other panelists.

Children’s art workshops will be held in the grounds of the Du Bois Centre at 12:00 PM on 6 March 2014.
