Foundation for Contemporary Art - Ghana, 2023.

ACCRA | JOHANNESBURG

Join us in Accra at the Foundation for Contemporary Art - Ghana for an extra special episode, recorded following the opening of the latest OtherNetwork exhibition guest curated by NGO (Nothing Gets Organised) from Johannesburg. FCA Ghana co-director Ato Annan discusses how the space became a hub for Accra’s wider artistic community, before being joined by Sinethemba Twalo from NGO to talk about collaborative modes of artistic production, and their mutual appreciation of the inspirational figure of W.E.B. Du Bois, whose final home and resting place sets the scene for the exhibition.
