Yenkassa: Untold Stories By Unfamiliar Voices in Chengdu, China! 

The "Yenkassa Heritage Wall" is being installed in preparation for an art exhibition. The selected Adinkra symbols and a play on ligatures from Chinese calligraphy you see on the wall is an interpretation of the poem "Freedom" by Langston Hughes. Our focus was on heritage, a core Yenkassa message. 

Yenkassa Heritage Wall (collaboration between Matey Odonkor and Helen Zhai).

Exhibition info: 07/22-10/22/2023. Jiang’An Riverside, Tianfu Greenway, Chengdu, China.
