Project Overview:

Join us for "Red Mother Earth," a transformative micro residency led by Nana-Essi Casely-Hayford, in celebration of Black History Month. This project delves deep into African culture, history, and identity, offering a rich, immersive experience that connects participants with the essence of African heritage.

What to Expect:

- Exploration of African Artefacts:  Immerse yourself in a curated collection of traditional masks, household items, and indigenous agricultural and medicinal objects, each telling a unique story of African life and culture.

- Connection to Nature: Engage with natural elements like calabash, cocoa, and loofa sponge, which provide a sensory link to the African landscape and its cultural significance.

- Interactive Narratives: This residency goes beyond a traditional exhibition, inviting you to participate in dynamic storytelling sessions that spark curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of African heritage.

Project Vision:

Nana-Essi’s work in "Red Mother Earth" is designed to awaken a sense of wonder, deepen appreciation for African culture, and encourage community engagement. This micro residency marks the beginning of a larger exhibition that will continue to evolve throughout the year, creating ongoing opportunities for learning and connection.
