About

Starting off the new season with a big dose of nostalgia! Join us to explore objects from Ghanaian homes as potent archives, with a presentation by Peter Kpodo. Following the presentation, our conversation will be moderated by Myda Klutse.
__
Peter Edem Kpodo is a dedicated private archivist and researcher with a strong passion for preserving and reimagining African heritage through everyday objects, tools, and stories. Over the past four years, he has worked with various communities and institutions to collect and preserve physical and oral archives, from furniture and utensils to sound systems and textiles. His work seeks to highlight the artistic, historical, and cultural relevance of these materials and open up new ways of thinking about design, identity, and memory in contemporary Africa.

Through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborative projects, Koodo aims to bring archival practices into public and creative spaces, bridging generations and promoting cultural continuity.
