FORTY-FOUR WORDS, in partnership with ISSHAQ ISMAIL, is realising a creative inquiry into the notion of Ghana as a new nation. This exploration is inspired by Ghana: An African Portrait, a book housed in the V&A's collection.
We're reimagining narratives concerning Ghana's post-colonial identity through a contemporary lens, while experimenting with insider-outsider perspectives to enrich our cultural discourse.

Reimagining Ghana
-
Our goal is to challenge and redefine traditional narratives concerning Ghana's post-colonial identity, offering an insider's view of contemporary Ghana through words. We’re exploring intriguing ways of archiving identity that feel closer to home.
-
This project is for the creative and curious - especially those interested in art and literature, cultural storytelling, and Ghana's rich heritage. In particular, we're keen to engage British-Ghanaians, Ghanaians, and anyone intrigued by post-colonial Ghana and its cultural complexities.
