Ade’nnsãda!; Ade’nnsãda!; Where Night Never Falls… Initiating Contemporary Pan-African Dialogues Around Tapestry and the Masterpiece"

Bringing together 13 contemporary African artists, the exhibition explored materiality, memory, and transnational dialogue through the expanded language of tapestry. Curated by the Foundation for Contemporary Art–Ghana (FCA-Ghana) and TM Projects, in collaboration with Liwan Design Studios, the Arak Collection, and VCUarts Qatar, the exhibition foregrounded artistic practices engaging regional and global concerns through critical and materially driven approaches.

Drawing from the Kente weaving traditions Adwinasa, Nsasawa, and Damedame, the exhibition evoked ideas of mastery, assemblage, and ingenuity while suggesting a space of continuous creativity and exchange. Presented in Doha, it connected contemporary African artistic practices with wider transnational dialogues across the Gulf region and beyond.

The exhibition featured works by Christine Nyatho, Dorothy Akpene Amenuke, Fatric Bewong, Halimatu Iddrisu, Theresah Ankomah, Al Hassan Issah, Patrick Tagoe-Turkson, Gideon Hanyame, Agnes Waruguru, Lynette Mupoti Musukubili, DuduBloom More, and Bernard Akoi-Jackson.
