As Nubuke Foundation marks twenty years of art, culture, learning, and community, we pause to acknowledge the many people, places, and relationships that have shaped this journey.
Nubuke Foundation has always been more than a physical space. It has grown through the generosity, imagination, labour, and trust of artists, artisans, writers, curators, educators, cultural workers, students, volunteers, partners, patrons, neighbours, friends, and communities across Ghana and beyond. Each exhibition, workshop, residency, performance, festival, conversation, and gathering has carried the imprint of many hands.
We honour the artists and creative practitioners who have shared their work, ideas, questions, risks, and visions with us over the years. Through their practices, Nubuke has become a place for experimentation, reflection, cultural memory, and contemporary expression.
We acknowledge the communities that have welcomed, challenged, and sustained us — from Accra to Wa, Loho, and the Upper West Region, and across the many networks of makers, thinkers, and collaborators who continue to shape our work. Our commitment to textiles, clay, storytelling, education, and the preservation and reimagining of Ghana’s cultural heritage is rooted in these relationships.
We are grateful to our founders, board members, directors, staff, interns, volunteers, advisors, and supporters, past and present, whose dedication has carried Nubuke Foundation through two decades of growth, change, and possibility.
We also extend our appreciation to our institutional partners, funders, embassies, cultural organisations, schools, collectors, families, and visitors, whose belief in Nubuke’s mission has helped sustain our programmes and expand our reach.
This anniversary is not only a celebration of what has been built. It is a tribute to the people who built it with us — and to those who continue to imagine what Nubuke can become.
With deep gratitude, we acknowledge everyone who has been part of Nubuke Foundation’s first twenty years.
❷ Completed in 2019, Nubuke Foundation’s new gallery building marked an important milestone in the institution’s growth. Designed to expand exhibition possibilities and welcome wider audiences, the space reflects Nubuke’s continued commitment to contemporary art in Ghana.
