Nubuke Foundation
Easily one of the most important art venues in the country.
The Nubuke Foundation is housed in a hut-like two-storey raw concrete building flooded with huge amounts of natural light (and a welcome breeze). It is easily one of the most important art venues in the country, dedicated to mainly Ghanaian visual art, culture and heritage. It was set up to provide an artistic space for native artists, often in collaboration with those from other countries.
In addition to supporting artisans around the country, the foundation runs poetry evenings, Saturday workshops, art walks, films and music. There are regular online exhibitions such as Akikakika: Aphorism in Contemporary Asafo Flag Art, explores modern renditions of the art form that originated in the 17th century, and which bears witness to a long history of the creative borrowing of European forms.
The Nubuke Foundation is runs a new textile and clay centre on the outskirts of Wa, in the Upper West Region.
