ACCRA | JOHANNESBURG
Join us in Accra at the Foundation for Contemporary Art - Ghana for an extra special episode, recorded following the opening of the latest OtherNetwork exhibition guest curated by NGO (Nothing Gets Organised) from Johannesburg. FCA Ghana co-director Ato Annan discusses how the space became a hub for Accra’s wider artistic community, before being joined by Sinethemba Twalo from NGO to talk about collaborative modes of artistic production, and their mutual appreciation of the inspirational figure of W.E.B. Du Bois, whose final home and resting place sets the scene for the episode.

Accra | New York. Join us at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana for a conversation between Nuna Adisenu-Doe, founder of the nomadic Compound House Gallery, and Ylinka Barotto, director at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York. Together they unpack the thriving art scene in Accra and the growing global recognition of Ghanaian artists. They delve into the importance of the art school at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi as a site for the emergence of new collective practices, and the relationship between the global commercial art world and the more independent scene emerging in Ghana.

Rotterdam | Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Join us for the first episode of OtherNetwork Conversations, where we visit Shimmer in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Shimmer is an exhibition space run with a studio-like mentality by artist Jason Hendrik Hansma and curator Eloise Sweetman, who invite Ruth Buchanan, director of Artspace Aotearoa in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland as their guest. Together we discuss the different approaches to founding a new art space versus inheriting one with a longstanding history, and the responsibilities a curator has to both artists and audiences.
