Africa-Press – Ghana. The exhibition which has gathered hundreds of art enthusiasts from across the country and the diaspora alike, since its launch in 2018, will this time around break down the event into seven thematic phases including Exhibitions & Installations, Talks & Workshops, Film screenings, Tours, Pop-up stores, Live Performances, and Photo Booth.
Ghana has always been a cultural tourism destination, so it is no surprise that many people still choose to flock to Ghana to enjoy what our culture has to offer.
Most recently, Accra has quickly and organically evolved into an art hub gaining prominence both locally and globally.With some 150,000 diasporans coming back home this December, it gives Ghana the perfect opportunity to display our undiluted culture, hence the Accra Arts Week.
The theme for this year’s edition is ‘Future Heritage’: Alkebulan Rising. This builds on the last edition’s theme which was ‘’Door of Return’’. Future Heritage now explores the question of what the future of African heritage will look like.
Key questions that this year’s event seeks to answer include: How is our traditional identity going to evolve? What impact will contemporary culture have on our future heritage as it stands today? As it continues to evolve through pop culture, media, and cultural arts education.
Others are: What do we want our future heritage to look like? Which aspects of it are we ready to let go? And which aspects must be integral? As culture is a fluid human institution, who do we invite to the table to help us create this future heritage? In essence, how does today’s society want to be remembered in the future? With Ghana becoming an increasingly Pan-African melting pot, taking in influences from across the global black diaspora.
