Contemporary satirical artist and our long time buddy, Bright Tetteh Ackwerh<\/a> held a solo art exhibition dubbed *Infamous in China*. The two-day event which was held in our new space (opposite Lokko House) saw a display of quite interesting if not somewhat controversial art pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the artist, the theme of this series was inspired by conversations with a myriad of creatives especially with the music of FOKN Bois<\/a> when they narrated the events of their fantastic trip China on a diplomatic cultural exchange mission; the food politics of Selassie Atadika whose work resolves around shedding light on how our food culture really sums up everything else about the quality of our living and the many stories that don’t seem to make the big news but personally find to be very interesting expressions of malignant influence of the Chinese in Ghana…”Retelling such nuanced stories using caricature artistic expression as a medium has long been a staple of the Ghanian art space and communication culture which has been an issue I have been exploring for years.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
