Collaborations
& Partnerships
At Nubuke Foundation, we see collaborations as more than shared projects—they are pathways to deeper connection, collective growth, and long-lasting impact. By pooling resources, knowledge, and creativity, we open new doors for artists, cultural workers, and communities to thrive. Partnerships allow us to exchange ideas across disciplines, geographies, and generations, while strengthening the cultural ecosystem in Ghana and beyond. For us, collaboration is not only about working together—it is about cultivating trust, building networks of care, and fostering the collective understanding that makes true and sustainable growth possible.
AWA
The AWA (Art West Africa) consortium, comprising the Koré Centre in Ségou and Institut Francaise, is the managing body for the implementation of the "ACP-EU Culture Programme: support for the Culture and Creation in West Africa- AWA." The consortium was selected by the EU and The Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States to distribute funding to the creative and cultural industries of West Africa.
Nubuke Foundation's Centre for Clay and Textiles in Wa is a beneficiary of this creative and cultural support.

Collaboration Fund
The Nubuke Foundation in Ghana, with Assemble in the UK, and the Textile Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria, partnered on a digital project aimed at creating a multicultural learning community in close collaboration with artists and crafts(wo)men to stimulate creative exchanges of artisanal and contemporary art practices. In addition, the project focused on collating, disseminating, and further developing indigenous knowledge and skill to foster its preservation and promising passage into the future.
With extensive documentation of what is already taking place in Wa ongoing, the next step is to build online and digital tools to exchange design ideas between makers in Ghana, the UK, and beyond, and long term we imagine residency programmes and new globally marketable products.
We believe in preserving existing knowledge and sustaining local communities economically. The archive resulting from this will be an open, de-colonial, non-judgemental, flexible place of exchange.
