Accra | New York. Join us at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana for a conversation between Nuna Adisenu-Doe, founder of the nomadic Compound House Gallery, and Ylinka Barotto, director at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York. Together they unpack the thriving art scene in Accra and the growing global recognition of Ghanaian artists. They delve into the importance of the art school at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi as a site for the emergence of new collective practices, and the relationship between the global commercial art world and the more independent scene emerging in Ghana.
