11 May Nubuke Foundation: Where Contemporary Art Meets Ghanaian Identity
In the heart of East Legon, Accra, the Nubuke Foundation stands as one of Ghana’s most important spaces for contemporary art and culture. Since its establishment in 2006, it has grown into a strong platform dedicated to preserving, documenting, and promoting Ghanaian artistic expression across generations—from emerging talents to established creators. Recognised as Tourist Attraction of the Year in 2016, Nubuke continues to shape conversations around culture, identity, and creativity.
Beyond being just a gallery, Nubuke is a living cultural hub. Through exhibitions, workshops, and community programs, it creates a space where art connects directly with society, reflecting both tradition and modern realities.
One of its current exhibitions, Dreaming Is a Map by Dorothy Akpene Amenuke, running from March to May 2026, offers a deeply immersive experience. The artist uses fabrics, fibres, and recycled materials to build installations that feel alive—expanding and shifting like a breathing space. These materials act as carriers of memory, telling both personal and collective stories.
Her works explore themes such as identity, gender, and belonging. Pieces like The Strength Within question the role of women in society, while Together We Stand reflects Ghanaian communal values, inspired by the idea that unity and shared wisdom are essential.
Other installations dive into concepts of space, migration, and history, referencing both local traditions and global experiences. Through symbols, textures, and layered meanings, the exhibition invites visitors to reflect, connect, and interpret freely.
