Exhibition Description
"AFTER LIFE" features artists who have previously participated in WOORI, an annual festival in the Upper West region of Ghana hosted by the Nubuke Foundation. The festival showcases indigenous cultures, knowledge and practices on textile weaving. From catastrophic cyclones to record breaking heat waves, the force of the climate crisis is hitting Africa hard. This is despite Africans being amongst those who contribute the least to the conditions causing the global climate crisis. AFTER LIFE threads together each artists’ response to the unfolding climate crisis through the materials they use and the stories they are telling."
