About

Accra Cultural Week returns and Gallery 1957 is thrilled to present the monumental group exhibition ‘Keeping Time’ curated by Ekow Eshun and Karon Hepburn.

The show introduces artists who are exhibiting with Gallery 1957 for the first time, such as Okiki Akinfe, Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze, Alvaro Barrington, Winston Branch, Kenwyn Crichlow, Michaela Yearwood Dan, Kimathi Donkor, Ibrahim El-Salahi, Lyle Ashton Harris, Andrew Pierre Hart, Che Lovelace, Sola Olulode, Sikelela Owen Ravelle Pillay, Elias Sime, and Lina Iris Viktor as well as returning artists Gideon Appah, Rita Mawuena Benissan, Amoako Boafo, Phoebe Boswell, Godfried Donkor, Modupeola Fadugba, Julianknxx, Arthur Timothy, and Alberta Whittle.

Against a backdrop of chronopolitics and colonial imposition, ‘Keeping Time’ explores how the work of artists is inviting looser and more lyrical readings of time. Conceived as a follow-up to ‘In and Out of Time’, the 2023 Gallery 1957 exhibition curated by Ekow Eshun, which was founded on a similar scepticism to linear notions of progress and modernity, ‘Keeping Time’ presents works that invoke African diasporic perceptions of time as the inspiration for works of expansive dreaming and possibility.
