Black Females in Architecture will on December 20 stage an exhibition, a fusion of arts and entertainment themed, “You Are Invited”, a showcase co-curated and co-designed with Ɛdan Ghana, exploring women’s ways of knowing the city Accra, Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Guide Radio, Carina Tenewaa Kanbi, founder of Edan Studios, said through artist works and public activations, the showcase aims to foreground and celebrate the resilience, creativity, and essential contributions of women to African cities.
The event, which seeks to engage hundreds of guests, envisions the showcase as an extension of Accra’s urban landscape, promoting care and community, inviting visitors into a shared space of rest and reflection.
Guests will have a chance to interact with artists behind span visual art (painting, murals, textiles, sculpture, mixed media, film, and print). There will also be performances, design, music, and participatory practice.
The event, organised in collaboration with Ɛdan Ghana, will centre on women’s lived experiences, and everyday practices that shape the urban environments of Accra and beyond.
