Ancestor Project by Kwame Akoto @osramba_media 🙏🏾 The enslaved ancestors of the #Nkyinkyiminstallation at my studio before they left for the slave forts and dungeons of Usher Fort and and Cape Coast Castle. If you ever thought this was haunting then you should see them now. I'm leaving Cape Coast Castle today after a brief visit, doing research for the next stage of the installation. The atmosphere there have already taken toll on them. You can literally see the light and life have been sucked out of them. I can only imagine what happened to human beings. See the next post for current photos. . . . #supportblackart #kwameakoto #ancestorproject #capecoastcastle #usherfort #blacklivesmatter #capeCoast #Ghana #diaspora #africanart #death #exhibition #artislife #ancestors #blackmancan #ancestorproject #artworld #hope #history #humanity #africaunite #ghanaianartist #scupture #sculptureart #installationart #artinstallation #neverforget #africanamazing #osrambamedia (at Cape Coast, Ghana)

Ancestor Project by @osramba_media 🗿 A beautiful shot of #nkynkyiminstallation in the rain taken by @mmanuellanelson 3 days before installing at the Kwame Nkrumah Park to debut in #FauxFreedom exhibitions. It was as if the ancestors were weeping in anticipation of the painful journey ahead. In my studio where I created these sculptures for @ancestorproject they were revered and treated with so much love. I told my assistants and volunteers @nii_kwarteiquartey @allosculpt @efoselaart (please visit www.ancestorprojectgh.com for full credit) as well as my studio visitors who these people were and they also accorded with the due respect and admiration. At the Kwame Nkrumah Park they are facing a new kind of admiration in the form of touching probing and countless selfies that I can imagine they feel like they are in a human zoo. Interesting to note that elderly Ghanaians got the symbolism right way without any need for explanation but the ancestors are having a hard time relating to the youth of this generation. But there is hope because this generation is so curious. I spoke to so many art lovers of all races who related to the installation's questions for humanity.Please support us via https://www.patreon.com/Nkyinkyim #ancestorproject #supportblackart #osrambamedia #kwameakoto #nkyinkyim #sculpture #installation #africanart #ghanaian #blackart #ghanaianart #africa #ancestors #art #tribute #symbolism #blackexcellence #veryblack #blkcreatives #artofvisuals #artstagram #artlife #diaspora #blackpeople #artsy #artnews #african #africanamazing
